The National Park Service awarded Colorado State University a $138,460 cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs – Resources of the National Park System program (CFDA 15.945) for the period of June 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The project will monitor a maternity colony of up to several thousand little brown bats at Fort Laramie National Historic Site that are susceptible to white-nose syndrome. Specifically, Colorado State University will conduct mark-recapture studies to assess bat survival and abundance changes, monitor bat populations using established and new bat condominium structures to evaluate their effects on bat health, reproduction and survival, and provide opportunities for park visitors to learn about bats and conservation efforts. The funding will support these project-specific activities aimed at understanding the impacts of white-nose syndrome at this western bat colony.
