Are you a member of a local conservation group, scout group or church? Are you a schoolteacher in Cheltenham?
We have a range of kit that you can borrow to identify wildlife near you. You can borrow our bat detectors and run bat events at your site, and monitor other mammal species.
Learn how to use a bat detector, borrow our bat detectors and see if you can identify them. Need some help? You can give your results to us and we can identify them for you and let you know the results. All you need to do is pick-up the kit, and return back to me at our FCH Campus in Cheltenham.
