Projects
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has developed a Bat Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) to address the potential for covered forest management activities to cause incidental take of five listed or otherwise at-risk bat species over a period of 50 years. The plan covers Indiana, gray, northern long-eared, little brown, and tricolored bats.
The primary goal of the MDC Bat HCP is to obtain authorization for incidental take of the five covered species for specific management and monitoring activities as administered by MDC.
A cooperative study between MDC, USGS, Missouri State University and the James Foundation to determine the current status of two caddisfly species of Conservation Concern in the Maramec Spring Branch.
