Last week The Jersey Bat Group hosted a Bats for Building professionals and designing for Biodiversity course run by Bat Conservation Trust. We were delighted to have deputy Gregory Guida Government of Jersey the assistant minister for the environment open the course and participate on both days. During his opening remarks, he expressed how important this course was for any persons involved with developments and planning and was very pleased to see participants from architects, builders, Andium Homes, GHE property maintenances, Jersey Heritage and ecological consultants. Whereas Deputy Gregory Guida was delighted to see GHE participant from the planning and housing departments, he was disappointed that there were no delegates from the environment department. We would like to thank Jo from BCT for coming to Jersey and running the course, The National Trust for Jersey for access to the properties used for the evening practical excise. Société Jersiaise for the use of the member's room to host the course and the Jersey Biodiversity Partnership for assistance with promoting the course. We would also like to thank Sangan Island Conservation for bringing along bat detectors and camera equipment used on ecological surveys to demonstrate for participants. Special thanks to our Jersey Bat Group volunteers👏 who put in a lot of time and resources to help bring the course together and to GHE for assisting with course costs.🦇🦇🦇#bats #jerseywildlife #batsinbuildings #designingforbiodiversity ...
