Wiltshire Wildlife Trust wants to help bats with improved habitats on six of its reserves.

Bats will be getting a boost if a wildlife trust can raise £60,000 for Habitat for Bats appeal.

After the success of a smaller appeal to help a specific group of bats, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust has created a more ambitious plan to help the animals at six of its reserves.

The cost to improve habitats and monitoring is estimated to be £100,000, so this fundraising push is to “kick start this critical work”.
