Abandoned Mines and Bats Workshop 2012

A two day workshop at Science North, Sudbury ON, that will bring together mining companies, regulators, NGO’s and bat scientists. The conference will clearly demonstrate the importance of abandoned mines to bats, safety issues, the construction of ‘bat gates’ and the latest remote data collecting equipment that permit easy information gathering on bats. Part of the workshop is a field trip to a nearby abandoned mine where participants will observe biologists catching bats and use remote sensing equipment.
