[OHIOBWG] bat I&E project/program info needed

[Graham, Jamey]

Good morning,

I have accepted the privilege of presenting to those of you attending the Bat Working Group meeting on December 10th. I will focus my presentation on information and education efforts regarding bats, specifically in Ohio. The purpose of this presentation is to simply bring everyone up to speed so we are all on the same page.

Below, thanks to Marne Titchenell, I have a basic outline of programs and conservation efforts taking place throughout the state. If you have anything to add prior to the meeting, please contact me by December 5th. I certainly don't want to miss anything; I know there are likely many more not listed below. We can always discuss unlisted programs and projects the day of so no worries if you can't get in touch with me ahead of time. If you are involved in the listed programs/projects and have the time and willingness to chat with me prior to the meeting, that would be very helpful. I am very unfamiliar with several of these projects. Again, if you or a rep from your group will be present at the meeting and would prefer to discuss it at that time, we will make sure to save a few minutes at the end of the presentation.

Thanks in advance for any help and I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
