The Kent Bat Group has been working to help protect Kents bat since 1983. Thirteen of Britains 16 resident bat species have been recorded since then. This includes a number of records of Nathusiuss pipistrelle, which has only recently been recognised as a breeding species in the UK. In addition a vagrant, the greater mouseeared bat, was found in 1985. The Kent Bat Group is proactive in promoting awareness of bats, to the general public and to specialist groups likely to come across bats in their work. The Group is also involved in biodiversity initiatives both locally and as a lead partner in the Kent County Council Biodiversity Action Plan for the serotine bat.
