Bat Walk (Nene Valley Mammal Youth Group)

About this event

Come and join a Bat Walk for with the Nene Valley Bat Group on a walk as we look for bats around Stanwick Lakes, and listen out for their echolocation sounds using bat detectors. This bat walk is a Nene Valley Mammal Youth Group event and is designed for young people aged 11-17. Young people attending this event must be accompanied by their adult at all times. Accompanying adults do not need to book a separate ticket but will need to be named on the young person’s ticket – you can advise at booking stage. The NVMYG has been formed to inspire young people (under age 30) to learn about mammals and take action to protect them. Young people will be able spend time outdoors, meet like-minded people, and develop their skills to become citizen scientists and active conservationists. The group has been set up in response to, and with, local young people who have a passion for nature and is part of the local network of the Mammal Society, Britain’s leading charity devoted to the science-led conservation of mammals. As this is a free event run by the Nene Valley Bat Group and Stanwick Lakes (Rockingham Forest Trust) we welcome a donation of £5 (cash) on the evening on the event.
