Durham Bat Mine

This 18th century abandoned iron ore mine now serves as an important refuge for several species of bats. With community support, Heritage Conservancy has been protecting these bats, the mine and the surrounding conservation area since acquiring it in 2001. The Conservancy is committed to ensuring permanent protection of this critical habitat and historic site.
