Bats play a crucial, yet often overlooked, role in supporting healthy ecosystems. As nocturnal pollinators and natural pest controllers, they make vital contributions to biodiversity, yet their importance is frequently neglected in land use and habitat management decisions. 

As Bat Week approaches, join us for an informative webinar with Erin Cord of Bat Conservation International for a focused discussion on how organizations and individuals can create and enhance bat-friendly landscapes, particularly in urban and corporate settings. From native tree selection to minimizing light pollution and chemical use, you’ll gain practical guidance for supporting bat populations, whether you’re managing a large campus or a small residential yard. 

This session will emphasize scalable, science-based practices for integrating bat conservation into landscape design and maintenance, highlighting how many successful bat habitats are subtle, low-maintenance, and compatible with existing biodiversity goals. 

The session will conclude with a brief Q&A, giving you the chance to ask questions and connect with the presenters. 

What you’ll learn: 

  • The ecological importance of bats as pollinators and pest controllers  
  • How to assess and enhance existing landscapes to support bat activity  
  • The role of native vegetation, especially trees, in attracting and sustaining bat populations  
  • The impact of light and noise pollution on bats, and how to reduce  
  • Recommended actions for both small and large-scale landscapes  

Who should attend: 

  • Corporate sustainability and ESG professionals focused on biodiversity goals 
  • Landscape and facilities managers for corporate sites 
  • Environmental consultants and conservation planners
