🦇 MICROBAT ROOSTING BOXES WORKSHOP

Did you know a single microbat can eat hundreds of insects in one night?

Join us at The Tinkerage Dunmore and learn how to build a microbat roosting box using reclaimed materials, recycled timber and pallets. Not only will you create a practical addition to your backyard, but you'll also be helping support important native animals.
