Wind turbines are known for their impacts to birds, less so for impacts to bats. However, some of the bats killed by wind turbines never even touch the blades.

Research shows it isn't just impacts that kill bats at wind turbines

The Southern Appalachian Creature Feature provides a glimpse into the fascinating world of plants and animals in the Southern Appalachians, one of the most biologically diverse temperate regions in the world. Beyond that it also examines the pressing conservation issues of the region that affect those plants and animals - from invasive species, to growth management, to engaging people in the ourdooors.
