Diana Spencer from @BatsinChurches: it was absolutely vital to talk to the communities involved to make sure that the solutions were practical and sustainable.
Daniel Hargreaves from @vincentwildlife: We are landlords for lesser and greater horseshoes! Trying to connect local communities and landowners with the local bat reserves is important. But also understand when they don’t want to engage or have publicity.
