🦇 Bats of JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary

JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary is home to nine bat species—including the federally endangered Northern Long-eared Bat! Since 2022, community scientists have been using an onsite acoustic monitoring station to record & analyze bat calls, revealing new insights into their behavior and activity.

This year, research expanded with spring & summer mist netting surveys, and the team is now exploring eDNA analysis to enhance species identification and guide conservation efforts.

📍 At the JK Black Oak Open House on Saturday, Sept. 14, stop by the bat monitoring station to meet the team, discover their work, & learn more about these fascinating, insect-eating mammals that play a vital role in healthy ecosystems.

Skip the FOMO.
Join the walk.
Discover what’s waiting outside your door.

Last year, walkers spotted woodpeckers drumming on tree trunks, coral pink mushrooms glowing on fallen logs, and foxes slipping quietly through the trees.

It’s all out there, waiting to be discovered. When you join the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy Walk for Wildlife, you become part of the adventure, wherever you are.

✏️ Nature’s Classroom is Open for Awe

Did you know?
• Kids today spend only 4–7 minutes a day in unstructured outdoor play.
• Children spend 5–8 hours a day on screens for non-educational purposes.
• Anxiety and depression are on the rise in younger students.

These troubling stats highlight why Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 is so important! In partnership with Loudoun County Public Schools, the program brings K–12 students outside and connects them to nature through journaling activities that support and enhance classroom learning.

51 teachers from 29 schools — including 1,100 from Title I schools —recently took part in our Peterson “Back-to-School” training sessions. Our dedicated Peterson volunteers provided guidance on how to bring nature journaling to life in their classrooms.

Those teachers now represent nearly 5,000 students, including more than 1,100 economically disadvantaged, who will experience the proven benefits of outdoor learning this year: improved focus, stronger communication skills, better academic performance, and reduced stress 🌿
