Dorset Bat Group

Our Bat Group aims are to:

  • Protect and conserve bats, bat roosts and feeding areas throughout Dorset.
  • Carry out bat conservation project work.
  • Provide information on bats to the public.
  • Monitor bat populations and distribution.
  • Carry out roost visits as directed by Natural England.
  • Recruit members and maintain numbers of Licenced Bat Wardens to cover all areas of Dorset.

Dorset is a haven for all species of british bats, and the volunteers are kept very busy during the summer months - when bats are at their most active.
