What We Do

Conservation We work in partnership with Natural England to provide hands-on bat conservation. We are on call to help injured and stranded bats.
Research We carry out research including roost and habitat surveys to build our knowledge of the ecology of the bats of West Yorkshire.
Education We give talks at schools and provide bat walks and talks to educate the public and attend local shows to increase the public's awareness to the plight of bats.
Records We receive and hold records on bat roosts and sightings from around the county.
Training We provide training to teach people how to use bat detectors, handle bats and identify bats in the hand  to ultimately add to the number of licensed bat conservation workers operating in West Yorkshire.
