BATTY ABOUT BOXES
Five Acres Nature Reserve, Allet

Come and help us celebrate Make a Difference Day by making a bat box to put up in your garden for local bats to shelter in. Some may even use it to hibernate in this coming winter.

Limited Places – MUST BOOK! Phone Kirstie on 01872 273939 X 203 by Oct 10th to reserve your place.
We provide the materials, designs, instructions and tools but you will need to bring an adult to help with the sawing and hammering.
