Required Information for New Jersey Recognized, Qualified Indiana Bat and Northern Long-Eared Bat Surveyors

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service does not "certify" bat surveyors but, as a service to project proponents who may need to conduct surveys for listed bat species, we maintain a list of individuals (not companies, firms, agencies, etc.) who we have found to be qualified to conduct bat surveys.
