Give bats a new (t)home
Many bats live in and around our buildings. They can be found, for example, in cavity walls and under roofs. More and more people are renovating and retrofitting their homes. This is good, but unintentionally, bats are finding it increasingly difficult. As a homeowner, you can help by having a bat provision installed in or on your home. This gives this protected animal a new safe place to rest, hibernate, and raise their young.
We are looking for owner-occupied homes (within the built-up area), such as corner houses, semi-detached houses, or detached houses. It is important that there is at least one facade that is 4 meters high, preferably facing east or southeast, and without facade lighting. For more information and to register, visit our website terneuzen.nl/vleermuizen.
Installation is free
After you register, an ecologist will assess whether your home is suitable for a (built-in) bat provision and which variant would be best. We will then have it installed during the course of the year.
