Faville Grove Bat Survey

This summer, Faville Grove Sanctuary partnered with the Wisconsin DNR as part of the Wisconsin Bat Program to learn more about the bat species using our landscapes and what their presence reveals about our restoration progress.

Eastern Red Bat

I had my sights set on the orange wings of the monarchs—preferably ones resting in the foliage and unsuspecting of my net. From a distance I saw something brick orange, nestled in the foliage of a maple tree. It was certainly unsuspecting of my net, but it was most certainly not a monarch!
