The Impact of Funds Raised
Thanks to the generosity of attendees and Wytch Wood Camping’s contribution, the £150 raised will help the Somerset Bat Group with their vital work. For example, a donation of £100 can fund an extra bat detector, which is crucial for both bat surveys and educational events.
The funds also support:
- Habitat Conservation: Enhancing spaces for bats to roost and forage.
- Public Education: Hosting workshops and creating materials to raise awareness about bat conservation.
- Research and Monitoring: Studying bat populations to better protect them.
- Rescue and Rehabilitation: Helping injured or orphaned bats return to the wild.
Your contribution makes a tangible difference in preserving Somerset’s bat populations—thank you!
Why Bats Thrive at Wytch Wood
Bats are a common sight at twilight here at Wytch Wood Camping. Our 30-acre ancient woodland, much of which is wild and unmanaged, provides an ideal habitat for them to thrive. The sessions not only celebrated the natural beauty of the site but also educated guests on how they can make a difference for bats in their own backyards.
Hosting events like these aligns perfectly with our commitment to environmental sustainability and education, values recognised by our Silver Green Tourism award.
What’s Next?
We’re already planning more bat talk events for 2025! These will continue to showcase the beauty and wonder of the natural world while educating and inspiring our guests. If you’d like to join one of our future sessions, let us know—we’d love to see you there.
