We aim to develop a genuine and widespread understanding and appreciation of bats amongst the public, state agencies and other organisations, and to secure consistent protection of all bat species
and the ecological infrastructure necessary to support them. We offer educational materials about bats and their ecology; why bats are important and various ways you can get involved to help our bat species.
You can be assured that your membership fee is helping a charitable organisation that is working hard to improve habitats and the future for Irish bats.
