    Protecting pallid bats during Anderson Dam construction

    As part of the Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit Project, Valley Water has built an alternative bat roost to help protect one of Santa Clara County's most important pallid bat colonies.

    California named the pallid bat as its official state bat in 2024, recognizing the important role bats play in the state’s ecosystems and agricultural economy. Pallid bats provide natural pest control by feeding on insects and other arthropods. They are also recognized as a California Species of Special Concern, highlighting the importance of protecting their established colonies and habitat.
