Opportunity to get involved in the National Nathusius’ Pipistrelle Project in Norfolk

The Bat Conservation Trust’s National Nathusius’ Pipistrelle Project was launched in 2014 with a grant from the People’s Trust for Endangered Species, to improve our understanding of the ecology, current status and conservation threats for Nathusius’ pipistrelles in Great Britain. The project was open to all bat groups, where different aspects of the project can be undertaken depending on experience and equipment available.

The aims of the project are to:

  • Determine the resident and breeding status of Nathusius’ pipistrelle in Great Britain.
  • Determine the migratory origins of Nathusius’ pipistrelles in Great Britain.

The National project was put on hold in 2023 but we have secured a new licence to continue our work in Norfolk and Suffolk.

If you are interested in getting involved please email Jane Harris (email j.harris[at]kepwick.biz) in the first instance.
