The Natural History of Bats in RI: Focus on White-Nose Syndrome
Winters can be hard in Rhode Island, especially if you are a bat. In this presentation, Dr. Peter August (the leader of our “bat walk” last summer at
Lawton Farm) will discuss the natural history of RI ‘s common bat species. Their life history strategies are remarkably diverse and are distinguished by the
different ways they cope with long, cold winters. Dr. August will focus on the Little Brown Bat, a species with an incredibly interesting annual cycle and review how
White-Nose Syndrome, a new disease that kills bats while they hibernate, is affecting population numbers of what once was our most common species.
Dr. Peter August is a Professor in the URI Department of Natural Resources Science where he teaches classes in geographic information systems and
landscape ecology. He has studied bats in New England, the Caribbean, and South America.

RI Land Trust Days - Tuesday August 16th, 2016 7:30 pm > Lawton FarmScituate Land Trust & Conservation Commission invite you to a Bat Talk & Walk at Lawton Farm!
Join us Tuesday, August 16th at 7:30 pm for a walk and talk about bats! What are the benefits of bats? What special adaptations do they have, and how can we protect these special mammals? These are just some of the questions that will be answered by University of Rhode Island professor, Dr. Peter August. Have you ever heard a bat talk? Bats are indeed chatty creatures, but our ears can’t hear them — unless, of course, we use a super special “bat detector.” This device picks up the bats’ “clicks” used in echolocation. During our summer Bat Walk and Talk program, we’ll use the bat detector to hopefully locate bats and follow their movements. Dr. August is a Professor in the URI Department of Natural Resources Science where he teaches classes in geographic information systems and landscape ecology. He has studied bats in New England, the Caribbean, and South America. |

“The Birds and The Bees”: a presentation by wildlife biologist Gary Casabona, who will answer all the questions you might have (but were afraid to ask?) about which plant species are best for attracting these pollinators to your property and how you go about planting them…
Gary Casabona holds a B.S. in Environmental Sciences from Rutgers University, and a M.S. in Wildlife Biology from Virginia Tech. He worked for USDA-NRCS in New Jersey for 14 years before moving to Rhode Island in 2011 as the statewide wildlife biologist for National Resources Conservation Services. Gary’s current activities include habitat projects for New England cottontail, native pollinators, scrub/shrub nesting birds, wetland restoration, fish passage, and oyster restoration.
