Who we are
Hereford Bat Rescue are a small group of dedicated volunteers who operate within Herefordshire rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing bats.
We are all registered with the Bat Conservation Trust who connect finders to their closest ambulance drivers. Our team care passionately about bats and all wildlife, and we always do our best to help bats in need of rescue.
