FREE GUIDED BAT WALK

Friends of Park Wood will be hosting a guided bat walk in Park Wood on Friday 28th September, starts at 6.30pm and will finish around 7.30pm.

Andrew Milne who regularly does guided bat walks for Friends of Ilkley Moor will be taking us round Park Wood as we identify bats in the woodland. We will also learn how to use a bat detector.

Meet at the gate on Kendal Street at the bottom of the cobbled path.

Bring a torch and wear comfortable shoes / boots for walking and waterproofs.

See you there!
