Bat Survey Training

As part of our Roots of Rockingham project, we would like to invite you to take part in some bat monitoring in the Rockingham Forest area to identify and quantify the species that are present and gather data for our target bat species, the barbastelle  bat.

Attendees will be trained on how to use bat detecting equipment, plan a transect route, identify barbastelle in the field and carry out a transect survey in the evening.

Once trained, all attendees will have all the necessary skills to monitor other sites throughout Rockingham Forest. No previous bat surveying skills are needed and all equipment will be provided.

This is a free event but booking is required.  For more information and to book contact Liz Morrison:
