Green City Bats was a successful initiative developed by the Count Bat team in August 2009. The focus of the project was 'Friends of' groups in cities. The aim of the project was to inform groups about bats, their presence in local areas and how bats provide a great opportunity to run community events and activities.
Over 80 'friends of' groups in London signed up to the GCB project and the scheme has since also been piloted in Bristol and Newcastle.
Bats are a great way to understand how individual sites form part of a bigger mosaic of urban wildlife habitat and having so many groups each looking after their local piece of green space gives us hope that bats will continue to survive in our cities.
Although the Count Bat project has come to an end, the Bat Conservation Trust will endeavour to help you with resources and information for your future events. You can find plenty of useful resources here.
