Indiana Bat Surveys in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia

Presence/absence Indiana bat surveys

Davey Resource Group holds a Federal Fish and Wildlife Endangered Species Permit (TE235639-0) and State issued permits to conduct Indiana bat surveys in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) is listed on both the state and federal endangered species list. The small brown/grey Indiana bat, only two inches in length, weighs less than half an ounce.

We have completed all types of surveys from large utility line projects to smaller individual parcel projects and general bat surveys for park systems.

Small creatures face big problem

One bat can eat more than 3,000-mosquito-sized insects in one night. Their big eating habits are not only beneficial to farmers but also homeowners’ backyards.

However, several factors are destroying bat populations and deterring the species from contributing to the environment.

Factors such as loss of winter and summer habitat, as well as the white nose syndrome epidemic, have specifically threatened the Indiana bat population. Habitat protection and recovery efforts have helped the species recover, but the white nose syndrome has deterred that trend from progressing.
