Join us for our fascinating Bats: Flying Mammals of the Night Webinar.

Off the back of the great success of our 2024 Monthly Webinar Series, this is our first webinar for 2025. This year we'll continue to bring together experts and restoration practitioners working on exemplary projects to challenge conventions and share practical experiences for ecological repair.

In this month's webinar, learn about the diversity and ecology of one of our most misunderstood and important groups of species, and the critical roles they play throughout Central Victoria. 

You'll be introduced to the amazing world of bats, including their evolutionary history, biology and ecology. Bats are an often forgotten, sometimes controversial, but incredibly important part of the Victorian ecology – so come along and get to know the these incredible locals. Kids encouraged to join too – they always have the best questions!
