We completed the bat home installation project with Tim
Newton of Green Footprint, the arborist, installing the last three, of a total
of twelve, on Thursday 5th December. One was in a gum tree in the
school yard of Rototuna Primary. Lots of classrooms came out to watch. The You
Tube clip of bat activity in Sandford Park had been forwarded to the school, so
many of the children were really excited to see the home go up.
We are very realistic, in that if we get one of the
twelve occupied in the next few years, we will feel we have been successful.
For those interested this document of an overview of bats
in New Zealand is linked to an interesting pdf
