Could your community group use free bat boxes to support important and protected species?

We have been pleased to collobrate with a number of groups with our ongoing Bat Conservation Project.

This biodiversity initiative has been funded by a grant from Tullamore Credit Union Community Support Fund.

Rahan Men's Shed have built a number of Bat Boxes and have been a great help.

It has been great to begin installing bat boxes at various locations over the past few weeks. Over the summer months OCBAG members with support from Rahan Mens Shed have made a number of Bat Boxes for local communities.

Our Bat Conservation Project has been funded by Tullamore Credit Union Ltds Community Support Fund. We are very appreciative of their help with this project. We are providing shelter for bats who are a protected species and an indicator of healthy eco-systems.

To date the project has been a great team effort and it demonstrates how when groups come together they can all contribute to imporving our local bioidversity and that we all have skills we can use to make a positive difference. Raising awareness of bats and positive steps we can all make for biodiversity is also a core part of this project.

So far, boxes have been installed at Rahan and Ballinagar Community with more to be installed with other community groups in the coming weeks.

It was wonderful to see a number of sustainable initivies in both Ballingar and Geashill when recently visiting as part of this project.
Geashill Tidy Towns recently reveived one box to contrbute to their established bat conservation work. Thank you to them, Offaly Co. Co. Biodiversity Officer - Ricky Whelan and Offaly Bat Group for advising with this project in recent weeks. We are gald to be able to support the good work taking place around Offaly.

To find out more about the 9 species of bats found in Ireland see Bat Conservation Ireland who are posting interesting facts on bats each day on social media for the month of October.

If your community wishes to get invovled with this project or would like to receive some free bat boxes please email: [email protected]
