Discover the Night at Inch Island Wildfowl Reserve
May 23 @ 9:15 pm - 10:45 pm
Join us for a moonlit guided walk around the stunning Inch Wildfowl Reserve with special bat detecting equipment. Find out how bats use the landscape and why they are important for biodiversity and get those steps in on a 1.5 hour walk around the lake. We have teamed up with 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.
