WCS Canada’s Alberta Community Bat Program is thrilled to announce the release of our latest video, which showcases best practices for the use of bat houses. This video is a product of more than a decade of work by WCS Canada, collaborating with communities across western Canada to research and monitor bat houses. Content is consistent with the Best Management Practices for the Use of Bat Houses in US and Canada, developed by an international team of experts in partnership with WCS Canada.

We want to thank everyone who contributed to the development of this video, especially our videographer, Jason Headley (Myotis Lens Environmental). 

Financial support for this video and other projects was received from the Edmonton Community Foundation, Calgary Foundation, Alberta Conservation Association, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Government of Alberta, and many public donors.

Also, be sure to check out our recent brochure, summarizing many of the key points of the Best Management Practices: https://wcscanada.org/resources/summary-best-management-practices-for-bat-houses-in-the-usa-and-canada/
