Silver haired bats are some of the most common in Silver haired bats are some of the most common in forested areas throughout North America. These bats are dependent on roosts in old growth areas and require densities of dead and dying trees. Silver haired bats hibernate in forested areas such as small tree hollows, beneath exfoliating bark, and in crevices of cliff faces. 

Learn more about bats in the Central Wasatch Mountains by checking out our Environmental Dashboard.

Boreal Toads are found in mountainous regions of t Boreal Toads are found in mountainous regions of the Western United States, typically at elevations between 5,000 and 10,000 feet. In the winter these toads hibernate in mammal burrows or beaver dams and in some areas they hibernate together in one hole. Boreal Toads will emerge in the spring when the snowmelt has opened up their burrow and the temperatures are above freezing.
