ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



This project was made possible through support of the Montana Natural Heritage 

 Program - a collaborative effort of The Nature Conservancy and the Natural Resource 

 Information System - and a Challenge Cost Share agreement with the Missoula Field Office, 

 Bureau of Land Management. I especially thank Dave McCleerey of the Missoula Field Office 

 for encouragement and continued support in nearly all facets of abandoned mine surveys for 

 bats, and for his interest in bat biology and management in general.
