About our 'Bats for Heritage Professionals' course:
You want to work in harmony with bats to protect heritage buildings. Maintaining heritage buildings that are home to a population of bats can be tricky, that's why our built environment experts have developed this course.
We will help you to develop skills to identify potential bat roosts and the confidence to know how to proceed in difficult scenarios you may encounter. Our experts will walk you through bat ecology and bat life cycles, and how this relates to building works, and the latest guidance and legal information that building professionals need to know when working alongside bats.
This course is open to anyone, but designed to be particularly beneficial to those working in the construction industry or anyone who is responsible for heritage buildings.
