Established in 1955 by Alexander “Sandy” Lindsay, Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital is one of the oldest and largest rehabilitation centers in the United States. Lindsay Wildlife’s team of veterinarians, staff, and volunteers treats more than 5,500 injured and orphaned wild animals each year. The hospital is a pioneer in wildlife rehabilitation. Lindsay Wildlife’s education programs and interactive exhibit hall create meaningful opportunities to learn about the natural world and how to live in harmony with wildlife. More than 50 species of live, non-releasable, native California animals are on exhibit to help visitors understand wild creatures and to prevent more patients from being admitted to the wildlife rehabilitation hospital. lindsaywildlife.org
