The local Merritt Naturalists are having a presentation on the ecology of bats for their October regular meeting.

Wind turbines generate emission-free electricity. Bats are a sensitive wildlife that can often get killed by wind turbines. This presentation provides insights into the impacts of wind turbines on bats, reviews information on bats in BC, presents the methods for detecting and identifying bat species using echolocation call analysis, and lastly reviews the bat acoustical monitoring program at the future Mount Mabel Wind Project (30 km north of Merritt). Martin Ince, founder and president of MKI Wind Energy and the proponent of the Mount Mabel Wind Project, has been working in the wind-energy industry for over 17 years, as a consultant across Canada and most recently as a wind-project developer in BC.

Meeting time is 7:PM, at the NVIT lecture theater top of the hill on Belshaw avenue, Merritt, BC, Ca. Free parking, no food or drinks in the theater, membership available at the meeting.
