Surveys are being done throughout the Waipā District to try and find out where long-tailed bats are living and how many there are.
A group of volunteers are using acoustic devices to pin point where the critically endangered species are located.
To explain the survey and what they will do with the information, Waipā District Council arborist planner, Chris Brockelbank talks to Jesse.
