Bats are a maligned and misunderstood, yet crucial, part of urban ecosystems. Often attributed as pests, bats are major insect population controllers and biodiversity indicators with complex social systems and language. In Seattle, bats take advantage of the abundance of water and tree canopy, and are often seen in public parks and natural areas. However, the current social climate around bats is based mainly on fear of disease and human injury. Bat populations globally are in decline due to habitat loss, and from a fungus that causes white-nose disease, which can be fatal to bats. Landscape architecture is uniquely poised to address both the environmental needs of native wildlife in cities, as well as the social perception of nature. This project uses landscape design as a lens to interpret scientific research on insectivorous bats and proposes creative methods of landscape intervention to communicate these concepts to the public.The structure of this project is composed of three main elements: a literature review that examines current research being done on bats in cities worldwide; a series of field observation sessions in three Seattle parks to document bat emergence sites; and design proposals for highlighting areas in these parks where bat activity can be safely observed by the public. Data collected includes (but is not limited to) landscape assessment of bat emergence sites, number, and species of bats observed. Results and design proposals are presented visually, including audio recordings and photography of field observations along with digital collages of site design proposals. Also included are interview excerpts, key findings from literature review and an explanation of scientific communication concepts.
