Calling all kids! Want to help Lindsay Wildlife Museum care for injured or orphaned animals?

Now through August 12, collect items from our wish list of needed items (or even cash donations!) and you will earn certificates, awards and an invitation to a special celebration party on August 19.

Just print out the instructions, a Junior Volunteer Badge, wish list of needed items, and Collect-A-Thon sponsor sheet and you will be on your way! You can also pick up Collect-a-Thon packets here at the museum or at the libraries in Orinda and Moraga. Good luck!

CLICK HERE for more info.

Anna, The Lemon Lady thoughts on this:

This is an excellent way for children to be big helpers for local causes. Some of the "wish list" items are so very easy to collect around the house, i.e. margarine containers with lids, toilet paper, pillowcases, old towels, etc. Any one of us could easily search our closets for items that can be donated to the Lindsay Wildlife Museum for their ongoing care of injured native wildlife.

Do Good. Help the animals. Have Fun!

Lindsay Wildlife Museum connects people with wildlife to inspire responsibility and respect for the world we share. The museum exhibits a collection of live, native California animals, a hands-on discovery room for children, a pet education section with domestic animals, changing exhibits, scores of educational programs, and a wildlife rehabilitation hospital that treats about 6,000 animals every year."

Ava and I are big fans of the museum. Please remember Lindsay Wildlife Museum is also an animal hospital; they treat native injured animals at no cost to the public. If you ever find an injured mourning dove, a baby squirrel, or another native creature...they are THE place to bring it for care.

The Lindsay Wildlife Museum Buy One Get One Free Admission

Things to do this weekend. One of our favorite local museums for my husband and I to visit with Ava is The Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek, adjacent to Larkey Park. Often, I forget they are even there!

You're in luck if you still have a copy of an old Parents' Press Newspaper. In January 2009, they had a Buy One Get One Free Admission to the museum, with no expiration date. Maybe they'll print another someday.

We love the Lindsay Wildlife Museum. They are also an animal hospital where I've taken injured mourning doves from my backyard. Check out The Lindsay Wildlife Museum's website. They have many upcoming field trips, summer science programs, and other great activities for children of all ages!
