species of special concern. Endangered species include the Indiana bat, Virginia
big-eared bat, and gray bat. Species of special concern include eastern
small-footed bat and Rafinesque's big-eared bat. West Virginia forests provide
summer maternity roosts and feeding areas. Eastern counties contain vast arrays
