At the beginning of this year, our ecologists conducted comprehensive ground-level assessments, carefully examining trees and buildings for potential bat roosting sites.

The team's meticulous work identified an impressive 14 structures and hundreds of trees that could serve as potential bat homes.

Key discoveries include:

• Four tree species that provide over 50% of the potential bat roosting sites
• Pipistrelle bats actively using bat boxes during the winter months in two parks

Following our comprehensive habitat assessments, The Royal Parks will soon install additional bat boxes across the surveyed sites.

Based on our detailed recommendations, these new boxes will be strategically positioned in areas with notable bat habitat potential, aiming to support and expand the local bat population.

Our ecological exploration doesn't stop here.

The team will extend its bat habitat assessments to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park next year, continuing our commitment to understanding and protecting these fascinating nocturnal creatures.

LUC brings unparalleled expertise to wildlife conservation. Our team includes several licensed bat ecologists capable of conducting both ground-based and aerial tree climbing surveys.

We're not just observing – we're actively working to protect and support London's diverse wildlife.
