During the winter of 2025/2026, our team in Kharkiv, together with volunteers from other cities across Ukraine, rehabilitated around 4,000 bats and provided them with suitable conditions for hibernation. Now it’s time to release them back into the wild!
We invite you to attend the events where these Red List bats are released into the wild.
Bring your gloves and help the bats take their first spring flight after a long winter.
The releases take place at sunset. Beforehand, we’ll share the stories of the rescued bats and explain how their rehabilitation works. Participants can receive commemorative stickers or support us with a donation and purchase bat-themed souvenirs.
Tell your friends and come along! Free entry
