Please join us as we welcome Marne Titchenell, Wildlife Program Specialist,
The Ohio State University Extension, who will give us the lowdown on bats.
Despite their spooky reputation, bats are fascinating and very beneficial
critters to have around. We will dispel the myths surrounding bats, discuss
how they help us, and how we can help them as they face a very deadly
disease called white-nose syndrome.

Marne Titchenell received her B.S. and M.S. in wildlife management and
forestry from The Ohio State University. She has gained experience working
as a biological and wildlife technician for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and USDA Forest Service. She has also worked as a naturalist for the
Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks where she developed a passion for
environmental education. In late 2007, Marne accepted her current position
as the Wildlife Program Specialist with the Ohio State University Extension
within the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. She
works to provide a variety of educational programs, workshops, conferences
and publications centered on wildlife ecology and biology, habitat
management for wildlife and managing nuisance wildlife species.
