The Bedfordshire Bat Group organises a number of different types of events each year ,
We can only work within the county of Bedfordshire. If you are not based in Bedfordshire, you can check your nearest bat group on the Bat Conservation Trust website
Walks
Every year the bat group leads a number of free bat walks. Most of these are administered through other organisations.
We help at five walks a year at Priory Country Park
In 2010/2011 we held walks for Sight Concern, the Motor Neurone Disease Association, Wardown Park Museum, various scout and brownie groups, Mind, Slip End Gardening Association, Ampthill Park , Harrold Odell Country ,
Contact us if you have would like us to organise a walk for you. Numbers are limited to twenty to ensure the best possible experience. We do not charge for talks but welcome donations and will not do walks if you are going to charge participants to attend.
