Arkansas Bats

Instructor: Blake Sasse

Do you love bats and want to learn more about them? Join us for an engaging presentation that will discuss bat biology and habitat use. Of the 16 bat species found in Arkansas, four of them are federally endangered species. Challenges faced by bats such as human disturbance and disease will be covered, as well as the actions taken to help their populations recover.


Blake has been the Nongame Mammal Program Leader for Arkansas Game and Fish Commission since its inception in 2000. He received his Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Management from the University of Missouri and his Master of Science in Wildlife Management from the University of New Hampshire. Blake focuses his work on the management of endangered bats, but also works with other nongame and furbearing mammals.
