Local Bat Groups

There are more than 100 local bat groups in the UK. Local bat groups are made up of many dedicated volunteers and they are the mainstay of bat conservation in the UK, undertaking vital front-line conservation work. The groups vary greatly in size, the way they operate and the activities they undertake - some groups are just a single individual, while others have hundreds of members. The bat group blog provides a glimpse into some of their local activities.
