    This Bat Research Technician will assist WCS Canada biologists to monitor building-roosting bats that are part of a field experiment to test the efficacy of a 'wing probiotics', bacteria that are being applied to bats to reduce the threat of mortality from white-nose syndrome (WNS), a disease of bats recently discovered in BC.

    The goal of the project is to evaluate a cutting-edge disease mitigation tool that could help save tens of thousands of reproductive female bats in BC.
