Learn about our local bat species, and why they’re vital to the ecosystem. Understanding the distribution and habitat use of bats is important to their conservation. Bats are in coastal ecosystems, as well as in the woods. So you just might see them at the beach! Delaney Costante is a PhD student who employs passive acoustics to determine if bats forage in the Long Island barrier island habitat, as well as active acoustics paired with net samples to assess the vertical distribution of small animals in the Southern California Bight. Meet at the Long Pond Greenbelt Nature Center, 1061 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike. To RSVP: info@longpondgreenbelt.org.
