BAT BOXES
Bat Boxes have been made and placed in trees at suitable sites on members' properties. Before making the boxes, we held a Bat Workshop with the assistance of the local NRM Officer, and learnt what bats were living in the area, and what their requirements for nesting sites were.
Plant propagation, either by group members or by children at local schools, is carried out each year. The Group is
