Bat Conservation Trust – Working to Preserve the Bat Population

The Bat Conservation Trust is a charity who has been around since 1990. They are a charity who is concerned with the conservation and protection of the bat population in the UK. They are the only national charity who are concerned with the protection of bats and do a lot of hard work to ensure that our native bats are well looked after.

The Bat Conservation Charity works around four central objectives which they believe are the key to protecting our bats. These four key objectives are:

* Determining the target population level of bats and their habits
* Securing and maintaining target bat populations
* Providing authoritative information on bat conservation
* Winning enough support to allow them to meet their target number or bats in the UK.

Bat Helpline

The Bat Conservation Trust is the number one authority for bat conservation in the UK. Bats are a protected species and anyone who wants to carry out any work on their property must ensure that they will not be hindering the lives of the bats that live there. If you are looking to make changes to as building, or develop land which you think may be home to bats, then you can call the Bat Conservation Trust helpline and they will advise you how you should proceed.

Bat Survey

It is usually suggested that a bat survey be carried out if there is any chance that you will disturb bats on your property. If you do anything which harms bats or their homes in anyway, then you could be prosecuted and fined, or even sentenced to prison if your crime is more serious and bats are killed. Obviously, you will want to avoid this, so it is a much better idea to pay for a bat survey which will thoroughly check your land for evidence of bats, using all of the latest techniques and will help you to work out solutions which will keep both you and the Bat Conservation Trust happy. Bat surveys are carried out by trained surveyors who will assess your property thoroughly.
