Comox Community Bat Program

Some great news from our 2025 roost counts, and a bit of bat count envy! Those big number counts must be epic! 🦇

Seven sites from the BC Annual Bat Counts had over 2,000 bats!😍

Bat week is really coming together in Comox! Check out the set up at the downtown pop up park. 🦇

💔 Working with injured animals day after day can be very heart-breaking and cases like this one can be the most difficult to encounter since they are preventable.

Glue traps catch more than what you intend for them to catch! This poor bat was victim to a trap, perhaps lured by the sounds of struggling insects. Despite huge efforts from the team to save this bat, the shock was too much for his body to recover from and he sadly passed away after two days in care.

This year we have received several song birds, mice, and a bat stuck in glue traps, and larger animals and reptiles are can be snared as well. They all struggle to free themselves, tearing flesh and breaking bones in the process.

Please help us protect wildlife by sharing this message and not using these inhumane traps!
