She has been constructing bat houses with her father to raise money for research on bats and white-nose syndrome. On July 17 Dara visited me here at the New Brunswick Museum along with her parents, brother, and her teacher. So far Dara has raised an amazing $350 from selling her bat houses. The family has been very impressed with the community response and interest in the project. Donald McAlpine and I gave the family a behind-the-scenes tour of the museum; including the bat collection and the actively growing fungal colonies that are part of my research.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMGP1666.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-470\" alt=\"IMGP1666\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMGP1666.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[PHOTO CREDIT: KAREN VANDERWOLF\/NB MUSEUM &#8211; DARA GAVE ME A COPY OF THE POSTER SHE MADE FOR HER BAT PROJECT]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMGP1670.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-471\" alt=\"IMGP1670\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.cwf-fcf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMGP1670.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[PHOTO CREDIT: KAREN VANDERWOLF\/NB MUSEUM &#8211; THE LARGEST BAT SPECIES IN CANADA: THE HOARY BAT]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">[PHOTO CREDIT: KAREN VANDERWOLF\/NB MUSEUM -SPECIMENS FROM THE NEW BRUNSWICK MUSEUM&#8217;S BAT COLLECTION.
