Bat box Monitoring Schemes Above a bats eye view of the survey team checking boxes at beale wildlife park. The bat group has a number of bat box schemes across the county. The boxes are checked and regularly maintained. The boxes provide homes for bats and help us monitor the populations of bats at the various locations.
