Cam Parish Council and Stroud Valleys Project are working together to deliver a free community bat walk at Rackleaze, helping local residents connect with the wildlife that lives on their doorstep.
The project focuses on raising awareness of local bat species and the important role they play within the natural environment. Through guided exploration and expert interpretation, participants gain insight into bat behaviour, habitats, and conservation, while experiencing the area’s biodiversity first-hand.
Set within the Rackleaze landscape, the project highlights the value of local green spaces and the habitats they provide for bats and other wildlife. By encouraging people to engage with nature in a meaningful way, the initiative supports a greater understanding of the area’s natural heritage and the importance of protecting it for future generations.
The bat walk forms part of wider efforts by Cam Parish Council and Stroud Valleys Project to promote environmental education, community engagement, and nature conservation. Through projects such as this, the partnership continues to create opportunities for residents to learn about, appreciate, and support local wildlife.
By combining community involvement with practical conservation awareness, the project helps foster stronger connections between people and nature while shining a spotlight on the rich biodiversity found across the local area.
