On Tuesday 29th September 2026 the Hyndburn's Woodlands Project headed to Memorial Park, Great Harwood for our final bat walk of the year! And what a bat walk is what! The weather forecast looked extremely poor, but it held out spectacularly for us!
Participants met at the park's entrance, and were treated to an all-encompassing bat talk from our famous Roger 'the batman' Cunliffe! Afterwards, we took a gentle stroll through the park with bat detectors in hand to see what we could find (or hear!). After a worrying start, we were greeted to a flurry of bat activity! We even got to see the bats getting their last minute meals in before hibernation!
It was a lovely evening and we'd like to thank everyone who braved the inclement forecast!
As always, thank you to our funders at Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council and the Windfall Fund for making it all possible!
