Bat conservation and inspiring future scientists go hand in hand! 🦇

Our very first children’s Bat Conservation Workshop was held at the Exton Park, University of Chester campus on 7th February as part of an exciting Women in STEM Outreach Event! Students from local schools dove into the fascinating world of bat conservation, learning about bat behaviour and physiology, in addition to an array of monitoring techniques used to enhance species wellbeing and survival! Students were able to explore their creativity, making incredible BAT FACTS posters. The children developed an understanding of bats’ ecological value within our environment and the importance of preserving these fascinating creatures. Keen to join us on this rewarding journey to making a difference? Together, we can make a positive impact!

Watch this space to find out how our project will help fulfil this aim. Our UK bats are currently still hibernating, but we don't have too long to wait until our first field season!
