Bankhead National Forest–Alabama
August 1-6, 2022
Please mark your calendars for the 2022 Southeastern Bat Diversity Network Bat Blitz, to be held August 1st through 6th at the Bankhead National Forest in northern Alabama. This year will be a re-boot of a 2008 blitz event, and we endeavor to get a glimpse of how white-nose syndrome affected the bat community in the past few years. Like previous blitz events, we hope this experience will continue to foster the collaboration and camaraderie that makes SBDN so unique, while providing scientific data that informs habitat management and bat conservation in the Southeast. Our headquarters will be located at Camp McDowell in Nauvoo, Alabama, and we anticipate adequate accommodation of 75-100 blitz participants.
