Bats, such as this little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus, are widespread in ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ.

An ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ wildlife biologist will lead a free lunch-and-learn webinar on bats in ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ hosted by the University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service.

Arin Underwood, who works with the Threatened, Endangered and Diversity Program with the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ Department of Fish and Game, will discuss ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æâ€™s tiny flying mammals, how they survive the winter and what to do if you find one.

The webinar is from noon-1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 22.
