Surveying Trees for Bats

Introductory

Surveying Trees for Bats is a self-study course designed for consultant ecologists and arboriculturalists. It will raise awareness and provide you with new skills for assessing trees for bats.

As bats are fully protected by law, it is important to be able to recognise them, and spot their signs when working in woodlands, or on individual trees.

Surveying Trees for Bats covers the legislation around bats, how bats use trees, survey methods, how to recognise trees that are potentially being used by bats and the mitigation used for when bats are present.

We will cover assessing trees from the ground and when aerial tree climbing is appropriate. A Principal Ecologist with 20 years of bat experience will be your tutor.

The course is in the form of a video, handout and quiz. We have both a ‘classroom’ based session and a session where your tutor goes out into the field to show you how to assess trees for bats from the ground.

Once you have seen the video there is a short quiz and if you get over 70% you will receive a certificate.

Please note that a basic understanding of UK bat species and ecology is helpful for this course.
