Calendar of Events and Programs

Join Marne Titchenell for an engaging look into the lives of Ohio’s bats. Where do they live, and how do they spend their time? Learn about their unique ecology, the threats facing their populations, and what you can do to help protect Ohio’s bats.

Marne Titchenell serves as the Extension Wildlife Program Director at The Ohio State University. She works in the School of Environment and Natural Resources, within the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. Marne provides a variety of educational programs, workshops, conferences, and publications centered on wildlife ecology and biology, habitat management for wildlife, and managing human-wildlife conflicts. Her favorite outreach topic is bats, the focus of her graduate research. In her current position, she leads the Ohio Bat Working Group, a group of professionals working with bats around Ohio, to collaborate on bat-related research, management, and outreach initiatives that provide public and professional education on bat ecology and conservation. She was fortunate to discover her passion for wildlife conservation and outreach education early in her career and now works to spark interest and love of nature in Ohioans of all ages. At home, she gets her inspiration from her own two little nature-enthusiasts, her daughters, Cora and Isla.
