Surveying trees for bats
Trees can provide a wide range of potential roosts for bats. Understanding how bats use trees, the best time of year for tree works and the legal responsibilities around these protected species can be invaluable for anyone working with trees: arborists, tree surgeons, woodland or estate managers, etc
Both courses are in line with the British Standard 8596: Surveying for bats in woodland and can be arranged as in-house courses on request.
