About the event

Join bat expert Sarah Butcher for this Saving Devon's Treescapes event at Devon Wildlife Trust's Meeth Quarry Nature Reserve. The reserve is a great place for wildlife, with many different habitats, including those favoured by a number of different bats, which we are hoping to encounter during this walk and talk event.

Sarah, Chair of the Devon Bat Group, will show us how to use the bat detectors and as dusk approaches we will head off into the reserve to see what bats we can identify via their echolocation calls. Although fast, we are also likely to see them whizzing past.
