- 6th October 2026 – Batting for Bats
Helen Taylor-Boyd from Keele University is a behavioural and landscape ecologist with a particular focus on the responses of wildlife to anthropogenic impact and developing practical applications in conservation. She has a passion for bats and will explain why they are so important and why their conservation is needed.
Helen says “Bats are a great example of a group of diverse and often misunderstood species; they are essential players in both human-dominated and natural environments.”
Come along to hear why Helen is “batting for bats”.
- 3rd November 2026 – Tatton Meres
