About the event

We will park at the Pebblebed Heath car parking area and walk together to the reserve. Sarah will introduce us to the world of bats and show us how to use the bat detectors. We will then be in the reserve at dusk when the bats start to emerge and we will use the bat detectors to identify them via their echolocation calls. Although fast, we are also likely to see them whizzing past.

Full joining instructions will be sent out a couple of days before the event. 

This is an event hosted by Saving Devon's Treescapes, a partnership project led by Devon Wildlife Trust on behalf of the Devon Ash Dieback Resilience Forum, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, One Tree Planted and other funders.
