Every year several opportunities (unaffiliated with the CBWG) become available in California, or neighboring states, for the public to learn more about bat ecology and survey field techniques. Note that handling instruction may still be somewhat limited due to pandemic-related restrictions.
Bats of California at Sierra Nevada Field Campus (SFSU)
Bat Survey Solutions (BatSS) offers comprehensive field techniques courses and data-management workshops
Wildlife Acoustics has an event calendar and mailing list for virtual training.
The Western Section of the The Wildlife Society offers two workshops, details TBD
