Join us for a hands-on experience with "Build a Bat Box"! Led by Mac Ince from Sholing Valleys Study Centre, this interactive activity invites you to construct your very own bat box and learn why bats are special. You'll get to take your bat box home for free and find out the best places to hang it to help bats make a new home. Discover the importance of bats, their role in our ecosystem, and how you can support their conservation.

This engaging activity is perfect for all ages and offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature. Using pre-cut and pre-drilled wood, participants will assemble bat boxes with guidance to ensure safety. This outdoor activity is not only educational but also a fun way to contribute to wildlife conservation. Don't miss this chance to learn, build, and make a difference at the Science and Engineering Day. Join us and be part of the effort to protect our nocturnal friends!
