Bat Safari at Swan Park
May 18 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Join us for a batty evening of family friendly fun at the beautiful Swan Park. Learn all about the bats that call the park home, why we need bats for better biodiversity, make some batty crafts and go on a moonlit bat walk around the park with special bat detecting equipment. We have teamed up with our friends at Wild Inishowen and Donegal County Council’s Biodiversity Officer to showcase why we need biodiversity and how each of us can boost biodiversity at home, workplace and school. Refreshments provided.
