For Bat Week Shannon is joining us to discuss her efforts in developing Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Bat Monitoring Program, a collaborative effort between numerous state and federal entities.
Shannon received her B.A. from the University of Montana, Missoula and her M.S. from Montana State University, Bozeman where she investigated rock-roosting bats and their relationship with mountain pine beetle.

In her free time, Shannon loves to backpack, wrangle her menacing dog, participate in community events, paint, play Stardew Valley, and see new places while traveling with her family.
