National Bats in Churches Study
We have selected 1000 churches for this study and we need your help to survey as many as possible over the next four years (2019-2022). The survey consists of three separate parts: a questionnaire, a daytime bat evidence survey, where you will collect droppings for DNA analysis, and placing a bat detector in the church for two nights.

Church Bat Detectives
If there are no National Bats in Churches Study sites near you, you can still help us by taking part in Church Bat Detectives. Taking part is easy – it just takes a couple hours and anyone can get involved. This is a one-off survey, involving just one church visit and consists of two separate parts: a questionnaire and a daytime bat evidence survey.
