Registration: EARTHQUEST is pleased to offering a 3 day bat identification and survey certification course taught by staff at EARTHQUEST (Canada) for the Environment. The course is intended for professionals and others interested in acquiring these skills for their projects. We will be following the provincial Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) (2016) provincial standard protocol for surveying bats in Ontario. This course will focus on learning how to identify and survey up to eight Ontario bat species, including 4 federally listed endangered species; Tri-colored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus), Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus), Eastern Small-footed Myotis (Myotis leibii), and Northern Myotis (Myotis septentrionalis). The goal of the course is to fill knowledge gaps for practioners in bat identification and survey methodology and how to interpret the MNRF bat survey protocol. This is an excellent course for those wishing to obtain practical field experience and applying theory to the field situation, or working in the environmental industry on bat survey projects. Graduates of this course will become well versed in bat identification and survey methodology for projects with First Nations, Métis groups, environmental consulting firms and other environmental jobs which deal with acquiring data for reports from Environmental Assessments (EA), Environmental Impact Studies (EIS), renewable energy projects, etc. This course is suitable for environmental professionals, consultants, project managers, biologists, ecologists, students and other practioners who need the training. The 3 day bat identification and survey certification course offered through our school and is scheduled to run May 13 - 15, 2024 and includes field practicums. It is recommended that people interested in upgrading their skills in bat identification and survey methodology also take our EA course. Advanced registration is required for all participants.
