Congress takes up bat-killing "white nose" syndrome

Tomorrow during the 8 o’clock hour, I’ll be talking with an activist in Vermont who’s organizing a push for more Congressional action on white nose syndrome.

That’s the mysterious disease that’s been decimating North Country bats.

It’s spread now across the Northeast and threatens to penetrate key bat habitat in the Midwest.

WNS ranks with the honey-bee die-off as one of the most perplexing and disturbing ecological events in recent years.

On Thursday morning at 10 am, a House subcommittee will take up the question. You can watch it live here.
