Dead bats wanted for White Nose Disease testing

environment · May 31, 2021 · Denman and Hornby Islands

The Denman and Hornby Bat Project is requesting reports and submissions of dead bats for testing of White Nose Disease, a fatal fungal disease spreading on the west coast. The testing window is open until May 31, 2021.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
