About this event
On Saturday 15 August from 7.30pm to 9pm, visitors are invited to explore the estate’s evocative gardens from a bat’s eye view with ecologist, Ashley Dale.
With more than ten years’ experience of studying and conserving bats, including helping to set up two bat rescue organisations in Bristol and Wales, Ashley is passionate about changing people’s perceptions of these fascinating nocturnal creatures.
Using bat detectors kindly loaned by the Cornwall Bat Group, for which she is a volunteer, attendees will be able to listen to the ultrasonic calls of different species and, with a bit of luck, spot them flying overhead as they emerge to forage.
Along the way, Ashley will share insights about these extraordinary mammals, their ecology and the important role that bats play in our environment.
Tickets for this event are £15 and spaces are limited to 20 so early booking via Eventbrite is essential.
