Leslie S.

Leslie has been a lifelong wildlife lover as well as a zookeeper and park naturalist. Ever since a college biological diversity course she wanted to work with bats and wildlife rehabilitation seemed like the most expedient way to work these amazing, diverse and little understood group. She discovered Bat World Sanctuary's training program and 15 years later, she's still rehabbing and still in love with bats. Leslie says, "I try to encourage others to work with bats. The tent needs to be bigger. North American bats are facing a crisis because of white-nose syndrome, and every bat is precious. We need more people to work with bats, because there is so much left to learn. And bats are endlessly fascinating. They do everything bigger mammals do only in a wonderful little package!"
