Bat Discovery Night

Join us for an educational and fun-filled Bat Discovery Night in Devonport, Tasmania! Hosted by the Devonport City Council, this event will take place at Kelcy Tier and the Don Reserve, offering an opportunity to learn about the diverse bat species found in the area. Led by experienced environmental scientists and educators, participants will go on a short guided walk through the reserve to observe and identify the different bat species living in the area.

As nocturnal animals, bats are not often seen during the day, so this event provides an excellent opportunity to observe them in their natural habitat. The knowledgeable guides will share fascinating facts about the biology, behavior, and ecological importance of these winged creatures. By the end of the evening, you’ll have a new appreciation for the vital role that bats play in maintaining a healthy ecosystem.

To ensure you have a comfortable and safe experience, please bring your own torch and wear sturdy shoes suitable for walking on uneven terrain. Don’t forget to bring water to stay hydrated throughout the evening. Bat Discovery Night is an exciting and unique way to explore nature and learn more about the fascinating world of bats.
