What is white-nose syndrome?
If you’ve heard rumor of an ecological catastrophe called white-nose syndrome, a lecture at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 23, at the Highlands Nature Center will fill in the details.
Susan Cameron, wildlife biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will give a talk titled “White-Nose Syndrome and Bats: The Current Status of this Wildlife Health Crisis.”
The disease has been decimating bat populations along the east coast since its emergence in 2006. The presentation will give an overview of current knowledge on the topic, impacts on bats and the outlook for the future.
Free, part of the summer-long Zahner Lecture Series. Sponsored by Glenn Murer.
