Speaking on Nature
This month Kay Griffiths (The Conservation Company) is coming to talk about Pekapeka/Bats - the NZ Long-tailed Bat in particular. Classed as nationally critical, a colony has recently been discovered in Central Hawkes Bay. Little is known about the colonies in the area so the Department of Conservation and Lotteries are funding research by The Conservation Company.
When:
7:30pm, Thursday, 11th July 2024
Where:
St Andrews Presbyterian Church Lounge
300 Market Road South, Hastings
ALL ARE WELCOME (bring a friend)
