In partnership with local authorities in West Ireland, we’ve completed our 8th modelling study to identify potential safe corridors for #lesserhorseshoebats to fly between roosts+ feeding areas. Part of the 1st #SpeciesActionPlan in Ireland for the species, we hope it will help safeguard its future.

One of the most impactful conservation charities you've never heard of. Their handprints are all over huge UK nature successes such as otter recovery, pine marten reintroduction to England and Wales, and recovery of rare bat species. I'm so proud to be a trustee for this brilliant organisation.

#BatWeek Vols have used acoustic surveys to gain info on barbastelle maternity colonies for VWT's @naturambyth.bsky.social Barbastelle Project in Pembs. We have collected 1,500+ barbastelle recordings from almost 2million sound files! We’ve also put up 27 bat boxes and made roost features in trees.

Join @georgierose.bsky.social and the rest of the terrific team of dedicated Trustees helping to make a difference to threatened mammals in Britain and Ireland.
Fab opportunity to lead VWT's Board of Trustees and help to continue its wonderful work. It's a brilliant organisation that quietly works in background to do huge things - like bringing pine martens back to England and Wales. Please share and let me know if you'd like a chat (I'm a current Trustee).

Fantastic to see that Kerry's #lesserhorseshoe bats will have more places to roost in VWT's bat reserves.
Brilliant session with our amazing Kerry volunteers! Together we crafted ~30 roosting pots and boards for lesser horseshoe bats.
Terracotta pots + wool wood boards coated in lime mortar = perfect textured nooks for bats to cling to (modern materials are too smooth!)
