How we can help bats:
Plant night-scented flowers, such as Evening Primrose and Honeysuckle – these will attract moths and in turn bats.
Provide drinking water. Many bat are especially drawn to ponds, not just for the water but to snack on mosquitos.
Reduce or remove any artificial lighting. Artificial lighting can alter the time a bat emerges from its roost, and risks them missing the peak time for insects.
Provide a bat box. Many bat species are in decline because of the increasing loss in suitable and safe roosting sites. Bat boxes are easy to make and widely available to buy.
Our actions make a difference!
