Sheephouse Wood Bat Protection Structure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sheephouse Wood Bat Protection Structure is a proposed building to allow bats to cross the HS2 rail line at Sheephouse Wood in Buckinghamshire, England.[1]

The structure will be around 1 km in length[2] and up to 10m high.[1]

The shed will cost over £100 million to build.[3] According to the Chair of HS2, there is no evidence "that high-speed trains interfere with bats."[3]
