It’s #batweek! The expansion of the bat fungal disease white-nose syndrome to the Pacific Northwest is centered in western Washington. However, we do not know much about bat distribution and activity in and around Washington’s National Parks and how it might change with the spread of the disease. We designed and implemented a study to understand how bats are using three large, mountainous National Parks (Olympic, Mount Rainier, and North Cascades) and surrounding areas in Washington in order to help parks prepare for and respond to the spread of white-nose syndrome in the region.
