Wianamatta's Bushcare Group is taking volunteers out to work along South Creek near the M4. Help restore and save the habitat of a number of rare and threatened microbats found in the area. Bats are the only group of mammals that are specifically adapted for flight. There are two types of bats: the micro bats and the mega bats. The micro bats (also known as insectivorous bats), are small to medium-sized bats, weighing from 3g to 150g, and with wingspans of around 25cm. The micro bats mostly eat insects and they are important for woodland health.
There are approximately 70 species of bats in Australia, with 43 species identified as being locally or nationally threatened. Thirty-five of these threatened species are micro bats.
