Each year, we join our partners in celebrating bat week October 24-31! Bats are important to environmental health and the U.S. economy. They help pollinate and naturally control insect pests. Through partnerships, the BLM provides bat roosting and foraging habitat and supports other bat conservation efforts. The BLM also uses bat-friendly closures on abandoned mines to help bat populations.
