The surveys range from whole day events to shorter 1-2 hour surveys; most of the surveys are held at weekends. All the sites will be cold, dark and include working in confined species –the whole day events can be physically demanding. Any members interested in assisting with one of these surveys please e-mail LBG (info@lincsbatgroup.co.uk) and further details will be provided. Places are limited and allocation will be on a ‘first come-first served’ basis.
