2011 Bat Species Survey: Resolution Copper Mining
WestLand conducted bat surveys in the project vicinity. Surveys reported here focus specifically on potential habitat for bats including selected locations: in Devils Canyon, along Queen Creek Canyon, around Oak Flat/East Plant and vicinity, and portions of Apache Leap and vicinity. The purpose of this project was to compile baseline data on bat species from surveys conducted in 2011 and previous surveys conducted in the vicinity in 1996, 2001, 2002, and 2004.
