Guided Bat Walk: Terryland Forest Park on Sat May 27th

The Galway branch of the Irish Wildlife Trust in association with the Galway Bat Group will host a public guided bat walk in Terryland Forest Park this Saturday (May 27th).
Rendezvous: 9.30pm in the Dunnes Stores (Headford Road) car park.


A scientific survey by students from NUI Galway undertaken under the stewardship of Dr. Catriona Carlin found six species of bat living in the park - Leisler, Daubenton, Brown Long-eared, Nathusias pipistrelle, Common pipistrelle and Soprano pipistrelle


The walk is free and all are welcome to attend. 

Bat detectors will be available for participants. For those taking part in the walk, please remember to wear suitable walking shoes and clothing.
The walk will commence in the section of the Terryland Forest Park behind Dunnes Stores, moving towards the woodlands adjacent to the Liosbaun business park.
