4 Total Number of Bats 1200 Select Vermont Winter Hibernacula Surveys Total Counts Greely Talc Mine Plymouth Cave Brandon Silver Mine Ely Copper Mine Bridgewater Gold Mine 2 Dover Iron Mine Moretown Nickwackett 0 Year of Survey
5 Number of Little Brown Bats 2013 Hibernacuala Surveys Select Vermont Winter Hibernacula Surveys Little brown bat counts Greely Talc Mine Plymouth Cave Brandon Silver Mine Ely Copper Mine Bridgewater Gold Mine 2 Dover Iron Mine Moretown Nickwackett Year of Survey
6 Maine Bunker Project OBJECTIVES: 1. To determine if cave bats in northeastern US can successfully hibernate in military bunkers exhibiting appropriate temperature and humidity regimes. 2. To determine if Gd remains on bunker substrate after infected bats have been removed. 3. To determine if Gd introduced to bunkers by infected bats can be reduced or eliminated using appropriate decontamination procedures.
7 Bunker Results 30 percent survival rate Bunker walls became infected with Pd Decontamination not successful Noah s Ark will need clean bats overwintered in a clean bunker
