🌱🦇GARDENING FOR BATS🦇🌱

We are delighted to launch our Gardening for Bats project - support bats in your own backyard! 🏡

🗓 FRIDAY 31ST JANUARY @ 7.30PM

🤔The project came from a question we are often asked by members of the public ‘What can I do for bats?’

The truth is, there is a lot anyone with an outdoor space can easily do for bats. With this project, we aim to:

- Create resources for gardeners to help them make bat and wildlife-friendly decisions when gardening.

- Provide signage, printed materials and resources for garden centres to help customers choose bat friendly trees, hedging and herbaceous perennials, as well as ponds and other features.

- For Irish plant nurseries - provide ‘I’m bat friendly’ labelling for Irish grown, native hedging and tree stock, as well as labels for herbaceous perennials that support nocturnal pollinators.

Thanks to support from The Heritage Council

👉Want to learn more and how to get involved in our project?

💻Join us for a special online event where we will introduce our new resources and answer all your wildlife gardening questions with the help of our panel of experts - book tickets 👇
