FWP seeking private landowners for bat study.

(Miles City) Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is looking for people across southeastern Montana who have bats on their properties and will allow staff to visit two to three times a year to observe bat activity.

Residents can be present or take part in this monitoring but do not have to. Visits would potentially be in June and July and would involve staff observing bat houses or structures around dark for activity.

If you have bats on your property and are willing to allow access to FWP to observe them, or if you know someone in the southeast region who does, you’re asked to contact Amanda Hall at amanda.hall@mt.gov or contact the FWP Miles City office at 406-234-0900
