Annual funding from the Jeniam Foundation has made it possible for NTSUSA to make critical grants to support wildlife and environmental conservation, including the bat reserve at Threave – Scotland’s only designated bat reserve. This fiscal year, grants have funded bat monitoring, an important part of protecting and understanding patterns in the species’ habitats and the vital role bats play in the environment; wildlife survey equipment, including trail cameras and sound detectors, critical to helping the Trust identify and monitor the presence and routines of rare and difficult-to-see animals; and wildlife skills training will allow students, volunteers, and staff to gain the required skills to carry out key wildlife research on Trust properties. Bat sound analysis, coastal seabird spotting, and wildflower identification workshops are all necessary functions in measuring environmental health.
