We are looking for volunteers to assist with some Local Wildlife Sites and church surveys for 2025.

We would recommend reading the documents before signing up here, as they contain information on the proposed churches and how the surveys will be conducted. Your membership needs to be up-to-date to take part.

Would you like to learn how to identify bats and take part in surveys for the National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP)?

If so this Bat Conservation Trust training session is for you. 

It will give you an introduction to using a tuneable heterodyne bat detector and fundamental species identification skills, and enable you to participate in a UK-wide survey as part of the National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP).

The focus is on the NBMP Waterway Survey, how to separate big bats and small bats, and on identification of pipistrelles and Daubenton's bat. This workshop is the perfect next step if you have attended the NBMP Beginner Level "Discover Your Local Bats" workshop.

This workshop will be run online via Zoom and led by Lisa Worledge, Director of Conservation at the Bat Conservation Trust. It is an interactive workshop featuring videos, activities and quizzes, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

You can book here.

Kent Bat Group will be at the event to engage with the public about all things bats. This is a family friendly event and we'll be providing some fun activities for children.
