Join us for an exciting evening on Ham lands, looking for bats.

Every summer, thousands of people venture out to experience the wonder of bats in their natural environment. Sadly, bat populations have suffered severe declines during the past century, but the Bat Conservation Trust and more than 100 local bat groups are working hard to help our bats hang on. Learn more about where to see bats!

Philip Briggs from Richmond Biodiversity Partnership has kindly agreed take us for an evening walk and Bat spotting.

We need to move quietly, therefore the numbers are limited on this walk, no dogs on this walk.

Meeting at the main entrance to Thames young mariners, Riverside Drive, TW10 7 Richmond at 6.30 pm, walk starts at 6.45

Please wear suitable footwear, bring a torch, and bring extra layers/waterproofs in case of cold/wet weather.
