Wing Flight at NIght bat program returns to Visitor Center

If you missed the LIVE bats at Taylor Creek Visitors Center in July, you are in luck, they will be back this Friday August 21 at 8:00 p.m. Join Tahoe Heritage Foundation and NorCal Bats for a LIVE bat presentation. This event is open to the public and is a $5.00 donation to the Tahoe Heritage Foundation.

Come learn about the importance of bats in the ecosystem, such as keeping those pesky mosquitoes populations down. The LIVE bats will be projected onto a large screen so everyone can see there delicate structures. All bats are certified as non-releasable by California Department of Fish & Game and the U.S. Department of Agriculture-injury precludes them from surviving in the wild.

With outreach and public education programs, NorCal Bats strive to teach the environmental benefits of bats and put to flight the fears and myths that lead to destruction of roosts and colonies. Located in the Sacramento Valley, NorCal Bats is solely funded by donations, presentations, and hardworking volunteers.
