A CLOSER LOOK: Lindsay Wildlife Museum

This wonderful resource was brought to my attention at the final Neighborhood Improvement Team meeting, this month.   Located at 1931 First Avenue, Walnut Creek, this is another excellent way, close at hand, to spend some quality time exploring and appreciating the wonders of our natural environment.  Highly recommended for children and adults.  Here is the link to their website, for more information.  Below is an excerpt from their "About" page.

About Lindsay Wildlife Museum

Lindsay Wildlife Museum is a unique natural history and environmental education center where live, wild animals are just inches away. Visitors can listen to the cry of a red tailed hawk, go eye-to-eye with a gray fox and watch a bald eagle eat lunch. More than 50 species of live, non-releasable, native California animals are on exhibit.

Tens of thousands of children learn about the environment in their classrooms through our traveling education programs and on-site tours of the museum. Nature and science-oriented classes and trips are offered for adults and children. More than 600 volunteers help feed and care for wild animals, teach children and adults about nature, and support the museums mission in many other ways.
