As spring approaches, staying informed about the upcoming changes in the Bat Roosting Season, which spans from April 1 to October 31, is crucial. Recent surveys indicate that bat pups are arriving earlier, necessitating a shift in the no tree removal period to May 15 through July 31, instead of the previous June 1 to July 31 timeframe. This adjustment is vital for the protection of these important species.
Key Information Regarding Bat Roosting Surveys
- Nebraska: Roosting surveys are required for any tree with a diameter over 4 inches.
- Kansas and Missouri: Surveys must be conducted on trees with a diameter over 5 inches.
Important Dates for Survey Season
