Listing Update! On November 29, 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a final rule in the Federal Register to reclassify the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) from threatened to endangered and nullify the 4(d) rule. On September 13, 2022, the Service announced a proposal to list the tricolored bat (TCB) as endangered. In spring 2023, when the uplisting rule for NLEB became effective, the Service released interim NLEB guidance and tools to help interested parties transition to the NLEB reclassification. The interim wind guidance, interim habitat modification guidance and interim section 7 consultation framework were scheduled to be in place until April 1, 2024. To see the full release check out our website.

We are thrilled to announce that HB 1399 which would have changed the definition of PFAS (forever chemicals) will not move out of committee. This bill could have allowed for the unregulated use of dangerous chemicals that pollute our waterways and native wildlife. Thank you Senator Neimeyer for your decision to refrain from voting on this harmful bill. And thank you to everyone who reached out to their Legislators to voice your concern over this piece of harmful legislation.
