This publication has been created to encourage the general public to discover the world of bats in Derbyshire for themselves, to share good batwatching sites with other bat workers and conservationists visiting the area and to allow new bat group members to get out and start discovering their local bats.
"I want to urge everyone to get into bats. I love watching these remarkable mammals swoop and pirouette as they catch Insects. The Derbyshire Bat Conservation Group have created a wonderful resource for everyone in Derbyshire, regardless of whether you are a visitor or a resident, to go out and not just learn more about bats in the county but also experience the wonder of bats for themselves."
– Chris Packham, President of the Bat Conservation Trust
