The Bedfordshire Bat Group is a friendly and very active bat group
In 2010 we put in 2600 volunteer hours
- carried out 106 surveys
- ran 30 bat walks
- took stalls to 8 events
- talked to 10 groups
- cared for 45 bats
- ran 15 bat box building workshops
- held 3 training events
- ran meetings 5 for members
We’re always pleased to have new members of the bat group, whether you want to get actively involved or just follow our exploits from the comfort of the chair.
Please don’t think you have to be a world authority on bats to be a valuable member. If you come along to a few events you’ll be surprised at how quickly you can pick up the skills needed to be an invaluable asset, whether in the field or helping with stalls at public events or with organisation.
