Today we celebrate International Bat Appreciation Day!
Many of our new developments, including Malvern Vale, incorporate habitat and hibernacula – homely structures where animals can shelter and nest, such as birdhouses or ‘bee bricks’.
In fact, Greenbelt Group manages a wide range of such items, from relatively straightforward ‘bat boxes’ to larger, engineered structures – just like this heated bat house, pictured in the heart of your green spaces in Malvern Vale.
As many of you will know, this fascinating feature houses well over 50 rare and protected lesser horseshoe bats, subject to an annual ecologist’s report every year since 2017 to ensure their continued good health and condition.
