Kent Bat Group home

The best way to find out more about bats is to join an experienced bat worker from the Kent Bat Group on a 'bat walk', come to a bat talk or visit us at an event.

About KBG

  When you join us on an evening walk please remember to wear warm clothes, stout shoes and insect repellent, and bring a torch.

What we do

 If you own a bat detector please bring it along.  Sorry but no dogs.
