Introduction
The Norwich Bat Group was formed in 2007 and works to help protect, conserve and raise the awareness of bats in Norwich and the surrounding area. Of the approximately 17 resident species of bat found in Britain, at least seven species have been recorded in and around Norwich.
Promoting awareness of bats to the general public includes leading guided bat activity walks, training volunteers for the National Bat Monitoring Program, participating in wildlife events and advising specialist groups who are likely to come across bats in their work such as builders and architects.
Protecting and conserving bats also includes finding new roosts, gathering new records of bats and monitoring known bat roosts and feeding areas in Norwich and the surrounding area. If you would like to find out more about bats and help conserve them in and around Norwich, or simply wish to express your support for the group please become a member of the Norwich Bat Group.
The group is affiliated to the Bat Conservation Trust, the national voice for bats in Britain. If you live outside of Norfolk and would like to find your nearest bat group, details can be found on the Bat Conservation Trust's website.
