Wales Bat Worker's Day
The Wales Bat Worker's Day is for anyone with an interest in bats! It is a good way to meet others who are involved in bats work, professional and voluntary. It’s also a chance to develop knowledge and skills that can support bat conservation.

The next iteration of this one day event is focusing on skills training, so has been renamed the Wales Bat Skills Training Day. It will consist mostly of workshops, along with chances for catching up and networking.
Following this daytime event, there will be the opportunity to get involved in evening activity surveys led by local bat group members and workers, to hone those newly developed skills further (weather permitting!).
The next event will be on Saturday 5th October 2024, at the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Due to the nature of the training workshops, this will be an in-person event only.
Details on programme to follow with booking to open by mid August.
