New River Gorge Park and Preserve is hosting an Emergent Bat Survey during the Summer of 2024. S2S has partnered with the park to create fliers to help build capacity for this exciting volunteer event.

S2S director Mike Cohn also met with Alex Schwar to assess the condition of nest boxes at Manassas Battlefield Park. Mike had previously worked at Manassas to help maintain habitats for the American Kestrel, and it is clear S2S has some work to do to get the network ready for the next breeding season in the Late Winter of 2025! We are ready for the challenge.
