White Nose Syndrome

White Nose Syndrome (WNS) is continuing to impact bats and caves. Last winter, WNS was confirmed in 5 counties in Tennessee and suspected in a sixth. It is likely we will see further spread in Tennessee this winter. The Nashville Grotto strongly encourages cavers to observe caving moratoria in WNS-infected areas, and stresses the importance of proper gear decontamination after all caving trips.

For more information on WNS please see the NSS white nose page.

What's Killing The Bats?

Submitted by Joe Stewart on Thu, 2009-04-16 08:05

"Bats play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature and they're dying in record numbers in several U.S. states. As Daniel Sieberg reports, it's a mystery that has biologists baffled."

CBS News report from Aeolus Cave February 2009 about White Nose Syndrome. It aired April 5, 2009.
