Bats.Need to know more ? Training days and AA publications.

[bats-n-trees]

For those of you following the ecology threads you will note that Hama has mentioned the work by Andrew Cowan : Guidance Note1:Bats in the context of tree work operations.Very valuable info included.It has just been updated with a third edition (March 2011) which the AA tells me they are taking orders for and will be dispatched 2/3 weeks time.

I have attached a short bit about it taken off the AA website, along with details of one of their other publications: Protected Species and Arboriculture.

I have also added a list of tree/bat days that are taking place this year around the country.These are organised by the BCT (Bat Conservation Trust ).More details on their website.

Happy Hunting !

Good links Alan,

 

should probably get an updated version of the guide to replace the rather tatty one we have knocking about.

 

 

Any chance you could bring along a few 'tools of the trade' next week at Moccas?

 

 

cheers

Ive just bought a few bits/titles on bats and I knew if i started delving I would get a little hooked! OCD has its advantages, and this is an obsession i think im going to end up being swallowed whole by!

 

They (bats) are totaly flipping awesome, and ive put a decent bat detector high on my priority list for the summer evenings in WW.
