Welcome to the South Yorkshire Bat Group website.

 

The SYBG was originally set up with the aim of furthering the study and conservation of bats in the South Yorkshire region.

To achieve this we set the following objectives:

· Develop a database of bat records for the South Yorkshire region.

· Increase the number of Natural England Volunteer Bat Workers.

· Provide training for group members to increase the skills and knowledge of those interested in studying bats in South Yorkshire.

· Support projects suggested by bat group members.

· Assist Local Planning Authorities, Government Bodies, charities and other organisations wherever possible in matters relating to bats.

· Provide talks, walks, and presentations to members of the public.

 

More recently, some of our members have begun to operate a bat rescue and rehabilitation service.

 

We have regular meetings through the summer months (see the events page), several projects to get involved with, we offer formal and informal training, and we are always happy to welcome new members who are looking to increase their bat-knowledge, aid the study and conservation of bats, or simply want to go out and watch these fascinating creatures in a fun, friendly atmosphere.

 

If you’re in the area and interested in learning more about bats, or joining us on an event, contact us or just come along to one of our regular meetings

 

For other events, please check beforehand with the organiser as places can sometimes be limited, or booking may be a requirement.
