CCWA Citizen Science Bat Surveys

  • - (AWST)
  • Yanchep National Park
    Yanchep National Park, Yanchep WA 6035, Australia

During summer the CCWA's Citizen Science program carried out a bat pilot study. Using bat detectors to record the different species of bats and their behaviours at different sites across Perth and the southwest. Following on from the pilot, we're testing out some bat survey changes at beautiful Yanchep National Park in preparation for our summer bat surveys.

What to expect:

  • 30-minute talk about bats, the program and some of our bat survey results
  • 30-minutes workshop on using the detectors and completing the bat survey
  • 1.5-hour bat walk survey, which will include walking two 3km loops of Yanchep lake (weather dependent) 

More details to be shared a few days before the event. 

Places limited - please register by emailing WAbats@ccwa.org.au if you'd like to join.

If it rains, we'll replace the 1.5 hour bat walk with some bat detector tests, which will be held in the vollie hut at Yanchep National Park.
