Bats and Inactive Mine Project (Principal Investigator: Kirk Navo, Colorado Division of Wildlife)
The Colorado Division of Wildlife initiated the Bats/Inactive Mines Project in 1991 to evaluate the use of abandoned mines by bats before public safety closures. The goals of the project are to identify important roosts for bats, protect these roosts with bat gates, obtain more information on the status and distribution of bats, and educate the public and resource managers about bat conservation in the state. This project represents a cooperative effort between the BLM, USFS, Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety, Division of Wildlife, Great Outdoors Colorado, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and volunteers from the general public.

Small Mammal Atlas of Colorado (Principal Investigator: Jeremy Siemers, Colorado Natural Heritage Program)
The Colorado Natural Heritage Program and the Colorado Division of Wildlife began a comprehensive study to survey Colorado for rare shrews, bats, and rodents. Each year of surveying focussed on a geographic area typically comprised of 3 latilong blocks. The first year surveyed the Front Range. The second year surveyed the northwest part of the state. The third year surveyed the southwest part of the state. The fourth year surveyed the southcentral part of the state.

Report from Year 1 of Small Mammal Atlas (bats of interest: fringed myotis, long-legged myotis, Yuma myotis)
Report from Year 2 of Small Mammal Atlas (bats of interest: spotted bat, Townsend's big-eared bat, Yuma myotis, California myotis, pallid bat)

Fort Collins Bat Project (Principal Investigator: Tom O'Shea, USGS BRD)
The aim of the study is to better understand the population dynamics and ecology of bats in urban-suburban areas, how bats interact with people, and what implications this holds for transmission of bat-borne diseases.
