Lack of Bat Boxes in Sam Smith Park

In a recent meeting with Janette, Kaylyn and Monica of  Green Toronto, DASSP asked about installing some Bat boxes around Sam Smith Park.

Park visitors may have noticed, especially at dusk, that the Brown Bat population in SSP has crashed heavily over the last few years, likely due to "White Nose Syndrome" which is a fatal disease to the species.

DASSP is hoping that Green Toronto can assist us with this worthwhile endeavour and Janette agreed to reach out to TRCA and Parks staff to determine what is feasible! 

DASSP has also suggested that if feasible, TRCA could do a pilot study on the success of the project, if it does go forward.  

Our homeless bats await !
