The Avon Bat Care team getting bats back out to the wild
In some cases, the bats are too injured or damaged to be reintegrated back into the wild, so Avon Bat Care has the necessary amenities to provide a home for the furry, flying mammals, caring for them throughout the rest of their days.

As well as a hands-on approach to bat care, education is at the forefront of the charity’s work.
Keen to spread their knowledge of the wonderful creatures, the Avon Bat Care team host a number of educational events and are happy to bring their licensed captive bats with them to schools and community groups.

Bats can often be painted in a negative light, and with expertise in saving these creatures from harm, Avon Bat Care want to give others the privilege of helping them.
With talks centred around bat care, and an unrivalled patience surrounding their work, this is a trust that is looking to share its insight into a fascinating creature.
