Bowland Champion Species: The "Whispering" Bat
Join Gail Armstrong, aka the Bat Lady, who will reveal intriguing insights into the lives of this fascinating protected species - and share ideas about how we might help them.
The "whispering" brown long-eared bat gets its nickname from the softness of it's echolocation sounds - and can tuck its huge ears under its wings!
Although not under threat nationally, brown long-eared bats have declined in Britain, being susceptible to changing land use, building conversions and light pollution.
Brown long-eared bats are one of the 14 Champion Species at the heart of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape's Nature Recovery Plan. Join us to find out more about these fascinating creatures, along with the chance to take home a very special Champion Species goodie bag.
Weather permitting, we may get chance to take a short walk in the grounds afterwards, to see if we can spot any bats ourselves.
