Conservation Café is designed to encourage informal science-based discussions of conservation issues of importance to Orange County, CA. Join us for coffee and pastries to discuss the issues that are important to you!

Jill Carpenter has been working with bats for over 13 years, including 12 years of experience at LSA leading a variety of projects (such as bridge widening and seismic retrofits) where there is potential for impacts to bats and bat habitat; consequently, she has spent a lot of time studying the effects of human development on natural bat populations. Recent projects include State Rte 91 Corridor Improvement Project, the Interstate 215 Lane Gap Closure Project, and the State Rte 91 Widening. She has recently studied bats that live in abandoned mines along the Lower Colorado River and in the California deserts, and assisted projects in Egypt and Mexico. For this event, she will discuss coordinating with engineers, contractors, and resource agencies to determine the most cost-effective and ecologically sound solutions to minimize impacts to bats.

Parking is free and the interpretive center is open for visitors this day. We hope you can attend, and as always, coffee and pastries are on us!
