What can we learn about bats without ever seeing them?🦇

This summer, Bats Northwest and Woodland Park Zoo placed bat detectors on conservation lands across Bainbridge Island, including at the Land Trust-owned Heart of the Forest, to record ultrasonic calls from bats flying at night. The recordings help scientists document species diversity and track population changes over time as part of the North American Bat Monitoring Program. With bat populations facing threats from human impacts and diseases like white-nose syndrome, this kind of long-term monitoring helps scientists understand what is happening to bats and where conservation efforts are most needed.

Bainbridge Island is already known to host impressive diversity: over the past five years, 7 of the 10 western Washington bat species have been detected here, with California myotis among the most commonly recorded. We're proud to support this partnership as we uncover more about the more elusive wildlife that depend on our natural spaces.

kinda chic to care about healthy ecosystems 💅

The Winslow Heron Rookery is quiet once more: our young herons left the nest in late July, marking another successful nesting season! 🎉 The fledged and adult herons will remain in the region, spreading out across Puget Sound rather than migrating away for the winter.

Now that the rookery stands empty, we're working to improve this habitat for next season. Our summer interns are conducting soil testing to see how the ecosystem is affected by the heron's guano, and determine which native plants might thrive here.

What can a creek tell us about the life it supports?💧
As part of a UW research study, we’re sampling water along Springbrook Creek for environmental DNA (eDNA) testing, which can tell us which species live in and around the stream. 🔬 We sampled three restoration sites within our Watershed Initiative, capturing data from the headwaters at Springbrook Creek Preserve and downstream close to Fletcher Bay. These samples give us a snapshot of the creek today and a baseline for tracking how restoration changes the watershed over time. This is what science-based conservation looks like!

Discover the wonders that come alive after dark!

Join us for an evening of nighttime exploration in partnership with the Battle Point Astronomical Association on International Observe the Moon Night. Peer through telescopes to explore the night sky, then venture into the forest trails on a guided night walk to listen for nocturnal wildlife and experience the woods in a new way.
