Renowned television presenters Chris Packham and Megan McCubbin will be presenting a week-long series of programmes on YouTube from Trees for Life’s Dundreggan Rewilding Centre near Loch Ness in Scotland.
The 8 Out of 10 Bats nature series, airing from 7.30pm-8.30pm each evening from 23-26 October, will feature live segments, films by leading wildlife film-makers, props, and live wildlife cameras, as well as content from across the UK.
In addition, the public can join Chris and Megan at Dundreggan Rewilding Centre at 1:30pm on Saturday 21 October, to hear their discussion on how we can save nature before it’s too late. Tickets are available at visitdundreggan.co.uk.
Commenting on the series, Chris Packham said: “At a time when we are being constantly bombarded with so much negative news about our precious wildlife, we want to share our passion for what we love most. 8 Out Of 10 Bats is about being excited by a love of life, but it’s also about giving young people a voice and an opportunity to showcase their extraordinary abilities.”
Zoologist and wildlife TV presenter Megan McCubbin added: “I am so excited to be launching 8 Out Of 10 Bats, a truly feel-good wildlife show. We are coming live from two spectacular locations over the course of two weeks, and getting our wildlife nerdiness on! We’re hoping to bring some joy and escapism to these darker evenings and celebrate the species on our doorstep and beyond.”
The show will be made up of a diverse range of hosts, including 18-year-old conservationist and campaigner Indy Greene, Scottish producer and nature presenter Christina Sinclair, wildlife gardener and environmental science student George Hassall, and City Girl in Nature, Kwesia.
The purpose of the 8 Out of 10 Bats series is to showcase the beauty of nature and to provide a platform for new talent. The show will be broadcast free-to-view and will be produced by Fabian Harrison.
Trees for Life opened Dundreggan Rewilding Centre this year, to demonstrate how rewilding can be beneficial to people, create jobs and tackle the climate and nature emergencies. The 10,000-acre estate is home to many species, from wood ants to eagles.
The second week of 8 Out of 10 Bats will be broadcast from the British Wildlife Centre in England from 30 October-2 November.
