Summer Family Evening Bat Walk in Epping Forest

Epping Forest Field Centre

Tuesday 27 August 2019     7pm till 9pm

Ideal for adults and children aged 7years+

Cost per adult/child: £5

Grab your torch and join us on an evening bat walk for families. Learn about the UKs only flying mammal - the bat! Join FSC staff and find out more about these amazing creatures. Once it gets dark we will go out and explore the area, which is perfect for bats with its mix of ponds, grassland and woodland. We will use bat detectors to find out what species may be living locally, find out about all the species that call this home and what makes each species different.
