Mission:
Lindsay Wildlife Museum connects
people with wildlife to inspire
responsibility and respect for the
world we share. Visitors can get up
close and personal with a gray fox,
watch a bald eagle eat lunch and
listen to the call of a red-tailed hawk.
The museum houses a collection of
live, native California animals, a
hands-on discovery room for
children, a pet education section with
domestic animals, changing exhibits
and a wildlife rehabilitation hospital.
Wildlife and environmental education
classes, trips, tours and special
events are offered throughout the
year .
More than 600 volunteers help the
wildlife hospital for 6,000 injured or
orphaned native California wild
animals annually and offer education
and mentoring programs to more
than 44,000 school children.
Through partnerships with
local K-12 schools, the museum
serves local and at-risk youth with
environmental education, mentoring,
and leadership programs designed
to instill respect and stewardship for
the environment in future
generations.
