THE Redbridge Nature Conservation team hosts a free bat talk in Woodford Green next Thursday (July 23).

Running from 10am till 12 noon, expert Roger Havard will be on hand to talk about our furry flying friends, with a chance to see some of his own personal collection along with the opportunity to build your very own bat box.

All those who wish to attend should meet by the new Ray Park visitor centre in Ray Park, off Snakes Lane East.

Call 8501 1426 for more information.
