The Mississippi Bat Working Group is seeking volunteers to build bat homes in Oxford, MS. The MBWG consists of professionals interested in biology, conservation, ecology, and bat management. The MBWG's objective is to conserve declining bat populations, which are now being wiped out as a result of White Nose Syndrome.
MBWG is also seeking volunteers to help construct a database to register all bat houses. The goal of MBWG is to have more than one bat house per county, throughout the state. Mississippi has 82 counties.
