Winter bat flying could be a sign of white nose syndrome, a deadly disease for bats

The B.C. Community Bat Program is asking people to report any sightings of dead or flying bats this winter.

In collaboration with the province of B.C., the bat program is asking the public for help in the effort to detect and prevent the spread of white-nose syndrome (WNS) in bats, urging residents to report any bat activity observed in winter and any sick or dead bats found before May 31.
