Improvement Schemes for Bats |
The Avon Biodiversity Partnership are working to improve the lot
of North Somerset’s rare horseshoe bats by making their roost
sites more secure. All bats and their roosts are legally protected,
but are often very vulnerable to disturbance.
Greater and Lesser Horseshoe bats are very rare and have declined
drastically in numbers in recent years. The south west is a stronghold
for these species so it is important to protect sites for their
continued survival.
Funded by North Somerset Council, using aggregate levy money, the
Partnership are protecting vulnerable bat hibernation sites by putting
grills over the entrances to roost sites to stop people disturbing
bats.
In addition they are raising awareness of bat conservation issues
by visiting primary schools, giving talks and producing educational
material for websites.
