BCI                       Year of the Bat

The Year of the Bat is a two year long global species awareness initiative undertaken by The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and The Agreement on the Conservation of Populations of European Bats (EUROBATS). Organizations from many countries around the world are participating.

 

NorCalBats is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of bats throughout Northern California. In addition, Home Page we are committed to public education regarding the environmental benefits of bats and dispelling fears and myths that lead to the death of roosts and colonies. Located in the Sacramento Valley, trained volunteers care for injured and orphaned bats throughout the valley and surrounding foothills.

Learn about these animals and their importance as insect control. Inform others and help protect our natural world. Dispel misperceptions and save these highly valuable mammals with education and rescue.

Our organization is funded through donations and presentations. No money is received from California Department of Fish & Game, U.S. Department of Agriculture, any state or federal agency, or major corporation. Help us save the bats of California. Please contribute.
