Mission

The California Bat Working Group (CBWG) is composed of individuals dedicated to bat research, education, management, and conservation. Our mission is to facilitate communication regarding bat ecology, distribution, and research techniques, and provide a forum to discuss conservation and management strategies, provide technical assistance, and encourage education.

Leadership

CBWG is led by a committee of volunteer representatives from each regional group, USFWS, and CDFW.
