Overnight Melbourne Microbats Experience in the Royal Botanic Gardens

Want to travel with a purpose? Inspired by the natural world? Consider joining a one-day microbat research project in Melbourne’s CBD and immerse yourself in nature. As Melbourne city population grows, the bat populations are threatened. Get up and close with the tiny resident as you join leading scientists studying the long-term viability of microbats living in and around Melbourne. On this expedition, you will spend the night in the Royal Botanic Gardens to set up harp traps and collect and process bats. You’ll have the unique opportunity to safely release them back into the wild as well!
