Helping At-risk Bats on Your Property
The results of the Canadian Bat Box Project have provided valuable insight into the use of bat boxes in Canada, like the fact that most boxes house the endangered Little Brown Bat.
Yet there is still much to learn. By registering and taking part in continued monitoring you are providing ongoing information on the distribution of bat boxes and the species that use them which can be used for further research and conservation.
Important!
Bat houses on different properties should be submitted separately.
If you registered your bat house already, but have since moved it or updated its design, please fill out the entire form again.
Report On Registered Bat House(s)
If you have already registered this bat house and would like to report a sighting or observation, please add your observation directly.
If you haven’t registered your house yet but are hoping to report an observation, please continue below to complete your registration first.
Report individual bats
Report individual bats by adding an observation using the free iNaturalist app or online at iNaturalist.ca. These could be bats you spot while they’re roosting (like in a patio umbrella, a bat box, a tree, or side of a building) or flying by in the evening (if you can get a photo!). This information helps researchers and the public alike to know what species of bat are in an area, where they are roosting and species distributions. You can also join CWF’s Help the Bats project on iNaturalist.ca to be part of a citizen science bat community.
