Protecting Bats Since 2006

  • About Us

Protecting Jersey’s Bats Through Conservation, Education & Care

The Jersey Bat Group reformed in Autumn 2006 with the aim of helping protect the island’s bat populations. As a registered charity, our mission is to monitor local bat activity, educate the public, and take proactive steps to support native bat species based on the Jersey Species Action Plan.

We conduct surveys of bat populations, roosts, hibernation sites, and foraging areas across the island. We also work closely with homeowners to identify roosts and species, and offer support for encouraging safe habitats.

Through regular meetings, research, member-only walks, and public walks & presentations, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of bats — both in Jersey and globally.

We invite anyone interested in bats to join us and take part in our efforts. Your support through membership or donations helps us continue this valuable work.

International Bat Night 2025

Remember the date!
Saturday 30 August
Venue – Queens Valley
Event – Public Bat Walk for up to 40 people
We’ll provide an initial talk on the island’s bats, handout the detectors and show you how to use them. Just after sunset, we will start walking along the paths of Queen’s Valley and when we hear bats we will stop the walk and look in the sky for sightings. Our volunteers will be on hand to answer any questions that you have about our island’s bats. The walk will take between 1-1.5 hours and we will stop on the bridge to listen and maybe see bats, then cross and return on the alternative path.
Tickets £10 for adults. Children under 12 are free.
Complete a membership form, instructions available on our website, to get a complimentary membership to the Jersey Bat Group for the rest of 2025 & 2026.
Very windy and very wet weather can puts bats off. The weather forecast will be reviewed 48 hours prior to the event and cancellations will be communicated.
