‘Bats have a very negative connotation, which is completely undeserved,’ said Piers Sangan, who nominated the group. ‘They play a vital and important role in our ecosystem. The work the Jersey Bat Group does is so important for protecting bats now and for future generations to come.’

Jersey Bat Group

1 week ago

The Jersey Bat Group have been nominated for Environmentalists of the Year in this year’s Pride of Jersey Awards.

Please head to this webpage and just click to vote for us, winners recieve £1000 from Jersey electricity in this category. Which would go a long way in our work to conserve, research & educate about our local bat population.

Closing date for voting is Midnight 31st October 2020

The independent charity promotes educational awareness and research into the Island’s bat population.

‘Bats have a very negative connotation, which is completely undeserved,’ said Piers Sangan, who nominated the group. ‘They play a vital and important role in our ecosystem. The work the Jersey Bat Group does is so important for protecting bats now and for future generations to come.’

The organisation has no permanent staff and is run entirely by volunteers, who give talks, lead walks and undertake surveys at night. ‘These walks, talks and events raise money to fund research and promote the work they do,’ said Piers. ‘Over the past five years, the research done by the Jersey Bat Group has increased the known number of bat species in the Island from 11 to 18. They have also confirmed the presence of bats roosting in trees and highlighted the need for greater awareness and protection for this important roost site.'

Good luck to all the other nominees!

Friday 30th October 🦇

Families are invited to join the Jersey Bat Group for a spooky Hallowe'en walk through St Peters Valley woods to look for bats.

Children are invited to join the Jersey Bat Group upstairs in the exciting new biodiversity exhibition in the attic of Quétivel Mill just before dusk, to learn all about Jersey's local bat species.
Then, as darkness starts to fall, we will grab our Bat Detectors and walk along a woodland path lined with jack-o'-lanterns to the Mill Pond at Le Don Gaudin, to see what we can find.
We will then finish up back at the Mill to warm up with a hot drink, and the chance to chat to the Bat Group.
Fancy dress is optional but encouraged!

Equipment will be provided. Advice on clothing and meeting point will be sent shortly before the event.
Please ensure that children are accompanied by an adult (accompanying adults go free) and that tickets are only required for children.
Suitable for ages 5 - 11 - Kindly supported by Jersey Electricity
