Nottinghamshire homebuilder reveals eco-friendly vision to protect bat conservation

Throughout the building process, the leading housing developers make an effort to protect local wildlife by installing various nature-friendly homes for animals, such as bird and bat boxes, alongside its stylish and modern properties.

A major part of Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ eco-friendly vision includes the conservation of bats, therefore Barratt Homes has installed bat boxes throughout Fernwood Village in Fernwood near Newark, Romans’ Quarter in Bingham, The Hawthorns in Sutton-in-Ashfield and Stonebridge Fields in Market Warsop.

David Wilson Homes has also incorporated many bat-friendly habitats at its Old Mill Farm development in Brinsley, Thoresby Vale in Edwinstowe and Elm Tree Park in Rainworth, to help protect the nighttime visitors.

Martyn Parker, Sales Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Midlands, said: “It’s important we provide homes for wildlife as well as people and bats are no exception, which is why our Nottinghamshire developments have bat boxes installed to welcome our nocturnal neighbours.”

Bats, often misunderstood creatures, make up more than a quarter of mammal species in the UK and around 20% of those worldwide; with over 1,400 species in total, according to the Bat Conservation Trust.

To support the preservation of bats, Barratt and David Wilson Homes has highlighted its developments that make a sizeable contribution towards the cause:
