Hi Bev and all=2C=20
Last year ACAP Cape Breton ran an Atlantic Bat Monitoring Network where we =
went to a few sites in Newfoundland=2C the Magdalene Islands=2C and New Bru=
nswick=2C and possibly PEI to help partners set up bat monitors and introdu=
ce them to the program and our database. I don't recall another NS site.=20
I will send out a link to last years report as soon as it's online so that =
curious folks can read up.=20
:) Jen=20
