Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute (MTRI)

  • Welcome to the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute
  • Bats
    Recently, MTRI researchers conducted a visual survey of a larger maternity colony in southwest Nova Scotia. Last year when this site was surveyed, only 58 bats were documented.

Who We Are



MTRI is a non-profit co-operative with a mandate to promote, conserve and sustain biodiversity in Kespukwitk (southwestern Nova Scotia) and beyond. Our vision is prosperous communities where forests and aquatic ecosystems are healthy, connected and where species are not at risk.
