There
are lots of ways that you can get involved with BrumBats, no matter
what your age, your level of experience, or your physical ability. We're
not all science nerds, most of us are just ordinary people who like
bats! (We do have a few nerds in the ranks though!) Below you
will find a list of the types of activities that we do, and links to
our Calendar
and Message
Board where you can find out what's on in your area and when.
Some of the events (depending on who is running them) charge for attendance,
but many of them are free, or accept donations.

| Bat Walks - These take place in the summer months, at dozens of sites in the area, from local nature reserves to city centres. You don't need any experience, just come along and bring all the family. If you have a local site and would like to arrange a bat walk there, contact events@brumbats.org.uk. | ||||||||||||||||
| Training Days - Fancy learning about Using a Bat Detector, Leading a Bat Walk, Bat Legislation, Bat Care, or Recording Bats? BrumBats have a programme of training days, which are usually FREE to BrumBats members! Check the calendar for upcoming dates, but book up early as spaces are limited! | ||||||||||||||||

Alan,
Diane, Kulbir, Stefan, Mark, Tamara, Holly, Rossa and Alison show off
their "License Awareness" certificates
|
||||||||||||||||
| Slide Shows and Talks - These are great for people who perhaps can't do lots of walking (or for those with an early bedtime!) Keep an eye out on the calendar for talks in your area! | ||||||||||||||||
| Bat Box Building - If you are feeling practical, and fancy getting your hands dusty, you could come to a Bat Box Building event! You could build your own bat box, take it home and help to provide a home for bats in your garden! | ||||||||||||||||
| Bat Care and Rehabilitation - We have a network of trained bat carers throughout Birmingham and the Black Country, who care for sick, injured and orphaned bats. If you would like to get involved, come to a BrumBats meeting and have a chat with one of our members. | ||||||||||||||||
| Roost Visits - BrumBats visit roosting sites and record where bats occur in the area. This is demanding but very rewarding work, so if you are interested in getting some roost visiting experience, talk to us. | ||||||||||||||||
| Surveys - Surveys happen all the time, especially in the summer. People are always looking for volunteers to help, and it is a great way to build up your skills using a bat detector. Keep an eye on the message board and calendar for volunteering opportunities. | ||||||||||||||||
| Conferences - We attend conferences and meetings about bats several times a year. If you are interested in learning about bat work that happens in other areas, or in networking with other bat people, watch the calendar for upcoming events. | ||||||||||||||||
|
Stalls
at Local Shows - We are always trying to raise awareness
of bat conservation, and welcome new members into BrumBats. One of the
ways we do this is by holding stalls at local events. So if you are
good at talking to people, and especially if you like talking about
bats, this might be perfect for you!
