Folks:  THIS WEBINAR IS NOT HAPPENING TODAY!!!  I just talked with Susan Loeb and she said this was sent out by mistake.  This was the webinar she gave in July and someone changed the date and sent it out for today and Susan didn't know about it and has a conflict at the time.  Folks can follow the links to her PowerPoint presentation.  I know this isn't the same as a webinar, but it is the best we can do at this point.

Thanks to Dana Hartley with FWS for pointing out to me the webinar was not listed in upcoming events on the web link.  That's what prompted my call to Susan Loeb.

Robyn:  Will you please send this out to the NEBWG list.  That is where I first saw the announcement.

Thanks to all of you for your interest and sorry for any confusion.  Dennis

Dear Dennis -

I work for the Fish and Wildlife Service in Vero Beach, FL and we were looking forward to viewing the bat webinar.  Unfortunately a trip to the site this morning revealed that it is not an option in "upcoming webinars"  If you happen to have any insight to this, please let me know.  Otherwise it looks like it has been recorded and can be viewed at our convenience.

Thanks very much, Dana

Folks:  This webinar is this Friday and it looks to be an excellent opportunity.  If you click on the "learn more" link below it will take you to a site where Susan Loeb's  PPT presentation is posted so you can see what will be discussed.  Prescribed burning, thinning, and providing early successional habitat will all be discussed. This could be critical information given the potential listing of northern long-eared bat.  Please share this with your district bios.

Janet and Chuck:  Please share this with FWS Ecological Services and Refuge biologists.  We will all benefit if we have a common foundation for collaboration and consultation. Thanks, Dennis

What will you learn?
Bats in the eastern U.S. are experiencing significant declines due to disease, wind-turbines, and loss and fragmentation of their forested habitats related to urban development. Climate change may also impact their populations and distribution. U.S. Forest Service Research Ecologist Susan C. Loeb, will discuss the plight of different bat species as well as the results of recent studies on the effects of forest management and other disturbances on their populations and how forest management can be used to create habitat. Loeb will also discuss a new plan to monitor bat populations at local, regional, and continental scales that will assist managers and policy makers in developing better conservation and management strategies for these important species. learn more here...<http://www.forestrywebinars.net/webinars/Conservation%20and%20Management%20of%20Declining%20Bat%20Populations%20in%20Eastern%20Forests>
