Make wildlife welcome in the garden

Go batty

Bats are now protected by law, as their numbers are declining, and many traditional roosting sites have been lost. Offer them a new bat-box home and watch them fly in and out at twilight, on the hunt for insects. This two-chamber design will house more bats than a standard box. The narrow entrance slot and strong FSC timber helps to deter predators.
