Bat Walk – St Helena’s Park, Dundalk, Co. Louth

Join us to celebrate National Heritage Week by learning more about the value of Louth’s Parks to our natural heritage.

Led by Anna Collins from Bat Conservation Ireland, we will explore St. Helena’s Park in Dundalk town centre. Using special bat detecting equipment we can find out what species can be found nesting and feeding in the area.

We will learn about the important role that bats play, where they might roost and what we can do to support and raise awareness of the value of our brilliant bats.
