SEE Change Gungahlin and ACT Wildlife invite you to visit the bat camp at Commonwealth park.

We are fortunate to have to have Peggy Eby, wildlife ecologist and science communicator to guide us through the social life of the Flying Fox colony. 

The timing is great as the maternity tree is a haven of activity as Mums and squabbling juveniles interact. We’ll discover the reason the bats return to the park annually and the part urban camps like Commonwealth Park play in the Bat's long-time survival. Peggy will describe their life history, their travel patterns, and their essential role as pollinators. 

She’ll discuss the challenges they face as climate change and deforestation threaten their survival. 

 ACT Wildlife Flying Fox co-coordinator Stephen Bartos will give us tips on how ensure their survival 

and tell us about the essential conservation work ACT Wildlife is doing.
