About the event

Treat the children to a special late night adventure to see how this beautiful nature reserve in Ramsey Heights comes alive after dark.

We will use bat detectors to listen to and identify the local species of bats, set out a moth trap to entice fascinating flying visitors, listen out for calling owls and go scouting for other nocturnal sights and sounds around the reserve.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy shoes/boots. It would also be a good idea to bring a torch and insect repellent.

Please note, the level of this event is aimed at families and children, adults should only attend when accompanying a child. (For an adult-focused event take a look at our International Bat Night guided walk.)

Please see the website for full event terms and conditions.
