Home > Walks & Talks
During the warmer months, when the bats are flying, we try to host members only walks so everyone gets the opportunity to hear the echolocation of a bat and usually see them flying overhead. We also host public walks which have traditionally been very well attended. During these walks we hand out our Magenta bat detectors and let you hear for yourself the heterodyne sounds of a bat. We are also involved with the schools and Scouts/ Guides to whom we offer walks and talks about bats.
This was a very enjoyable walk from 2024 where we were hosted by the Lieutenant Governor of Jersey at Government House.
We also try to organize at least one training session every year — open to both new and existing members — as well as public events during the active survey season.
During winter, we put on zoom talks from experts around the world.
👉 Keep an eye on our Events page for upcoming walks and training sessions.
