Worcestershire Bat Group is a dedicated volunteer organisation, established in 1985, focused on promoting the conservation of bats and their habitats throughout Worcestershire.
For nearly four decades, we’ve worked to raise awareness, support research, and protect local bat populations, while fostering a sense of community among those who share a passion for these remarkable creatures.
Our activities are driven by the interests and contributions of our members. From seasoned bat enthusiasts and professional ecologists to those simply curious about bats, our group welcomes individuals from all backgrounds who want to make a difference. Over the years, our members have been involved in a wide range of projects, including:
- Worcester Cathedral’s Lesser Horseshoe Bat Colony
- Lesser Horseshoe Bat Surveys at Croome Court
- Bat ‘Hotel’ at Hurcott Pool
- Big Bat Night at the Knapp and Papermill Reserve
- Public Bat Walks
- Winter Talks
