Bat Boxes Coming to Horfield Common!

Exciting news!

We have just received the brilliant news that our application to Bristol City Council for funding from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) has been successful.

We applied for the grant to fund buying, and then erecting, bat boxes to be put in the trees around Horfield Common. Hopefully we'll increase our bat population and give them cosy and functional new homes to live in. They'll be erected in early spring so look out for our very popular bat walks later in the spring!

Earlier this year, both Noctules and Common Pipistrelles were spotted on the Common — a promising sign that our bat-friendly efforts are already paying off.
