Bats in Peril

Written by Adam on January 7th, 2008

The proposed Kelmarsh Wind Farm is planned adjacent to Tally Ho Covert; a beautiful small wood.

This means there will be implications for the local wildlife populations, both from the massive turbines themselves and the large amount of construction work and traffic that will be required to build them.

One of the most sensitive of all creatures is the bat and as such they are protected by law.

“Erecting turbines in the unspoilt countryside of this area seems to be madness and could seriously affect our native bats.” not our words, but those of Phil Richardson from the Northants Bat Group.

In fact the Kelmarsh Estate are so proud of the bats on their land, that they have held annual bat walks for the last five years, yet they seem prepared to put those bats at high risk with this proposal.
