NORTH LANCASHIRE BAT GROUP
WINTER PROGRAMME
No events have yet been planned for the Summer season - please get in touch if there is anything you want to come along to or help us with.
Bat Group Events
The North Lancashire Bat Group organize informal events predominately in Lancashire but members occasionally organize events in Cumbria and West Yorkshire often in collaboration with other bat groups.
Outline details of events are listed below. We welcome new members to the group. If you would like to attend an event to see what we do you are more than welcome to attend without commitment. We would ask any person interested in attending an event to contact us as venues and times can change at short notice due to adverse weather conditions.
If you have a club, society or school who would like to hear a talk on bats and bat conservation, please contact us and we will try to find a volunteer in your area, who may also be able to show you captive bats from a rehabilitation and release program.
