USFWS Signs Bat Conservation Plans

This week, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service approved the Lake States Region Bat Habitat Conservation Plans for Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The plans provide a framework to protect the northern long-eared bat while allowing forest management activities through incidental take permits. The plans will go into effect when the bat is recognized as endangered on March 31.
