Notice of Intent: Bats, people and properties: conservation and conflict: Grand Teton National Park (GRTE) sits at the nexus of serious
conservation concerns for little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) and increases in bat-human
conflicts. There are a large number of historical buildings that are occupied seasonally
by several hundred employees and an unknown number of bats. This has led to increased
bat-human contact and, thus conflicts, as well as a possible human-driven vector of
white-nose syndrome (WNS). Wholesale removal and exclusion of bats is not a viable
solution given conservation concerns as WNS in bat populations is rapidly moving west.
Unfortunately, there is little information on bat species residing in/migrating to habitats
within GRTE, either seasonally or annually. Also, any management actions to mitigate
bat-human conflicts needs to accommodate the currently unknown habitat needs of the
suite of bat species that roost in historic structures and help prepare for the projected
arrival of WNS to northwestern Wyoming within the next 10 years. Thus, we are
proposing to use acoustical surveys to acquire baseline data on bats and their habitats in
GRTE and use these data to minimize bat-human conflicts and contact at select historical
properties.
