Helping horseshoe bats (an on-line talk via Zoom)

We are pleased to be hosting Daniel Hargreaves, Bat Programme Manager for the Vincent Wildlife Trust (VWT), for our first talk of the year. A Zoom link will be sent to all members nearer the time.

He will talk about how the VWT manage and adapt their horseshoe bat reserves; with emphasis on new landscape scale projects to help both horseshoe species re-colonise and spread to new suitable habitats.

Daniel rescued his first bat when he was seven years old and has been fascinated by bats ever since. He has been involved with numerous global bat conservation projects, working with a wide range of species and helping to develop conservation initiatives in many countries, including Costa Rica, Thailand and Zambia. He was awarded the Pete Guest Award in 2012 for inspiring others and making an outstanding practical contribution to bat conservation.
