Subscriber-only episode

In this episode of Talking Trees, we explore the close relationship between trees and bats, highlighting the essential role trees play as habitat providers for these fascinating nocturnal mammals. Bats rely on old, hollow, or dead trees for roosting, breeding, and protection—making arboriculture an important ally in bat conservation.

We discuss:

  • Tree features bats depend on – cavities, crevices, loose bark, and decay pockets
  • Why veteran and dead trees matter – their irreplaceable value in maintaining bat populations
  • How arborists can help – integrating bat-friendly practices into tree inspections, pruning, and management
  • Legal protection and biodiversity goals – understanding conservation obligations and habitat assessments

Bats are a vital part of forest and urban ecosystems. This episode offers arborists and tree managers practical insights into how their work can support biodiversity and species protection, simply by respecting the structures trees naturally offer.
