Bat Conservation Trust eLearning (online training)
The Bat Conservation Trust has a range of different online training courses, webinars, talks and modules available, ideal for doing in your own time.
See here for those currently available.
These include a FREE 30 min course on Bat Care for Non-Bat Carers, how to look after a grounded bat until it can be passed to a trained bat carer. (When 'this time of year' is referred to it's mid/late summer when the recording was made).
Also, a Bat Care Theory - Foundation Course, an ideal starting point to get an idea of what is expected of carers. Further training and practical experience is the next step.
Bat box check near Faversham - volunteers needed
The group has installed 50+ boxes in the wilding project Woodsell Farm at Stalisfield. The plan is to check the boxes at least 3 times a year and our next inspection, in the company of licenced bat workers, will be on the 26th July.
If you'd like to join us, to see what it's all about, but don't have the day to spare, you'd still be welcome if you could only help out for a couple of hours.
If you'd like to join us, please email
