Who are we?
The purpose of the SDBWG is to work to protect bats and bat habitat through action, education, and cooperation with Federal, State, Tribal, and private landowners. Our objectives are two-fold: to raise awareness about the role bats play in maintaining healthy ecosystems; and to work with public land managers and private landowners and provide alternatives that will reduce possible adverse affects to bats or bat habitat.
