Fifty-five years ago in 1970, the doors opened on something truly special – the nation’s first wildlife rehabilitation hospital. The Lindsay Wildlife Experience, known then as the Alexander Lindsay Junior Museum, was the place to go for guidance and assistance with orphaned, injured, and sick wildlife in a region that was quickly losing habitat to urbanization. The hospital officially moved into its current home in 1993, where it has continued to treat thousands of patients every year, averaging 5,000 in recent years. Join us for a look back on the wildlife hospital’s history and the work currently being done to restore our wild neighbors to their natural habitats.

Jillian Jorgenson is the Wildlife Husbandry Coordinator at the Lindsay Wildlife Experience’s wildlife hospital. She received a B.Sc. in Zoo and Conservation Science from Otterbein University and a M.Sc. in Environmental/Conservation Science and Policy from George Mason University. Throughout their professional and academic career, Jillian has worked with a wide variety of species that range from mountain tapirs to songbirds, finally settling into the wildlife rehabilitation field with Lindsay in 2024.

At Highlight Gallery in Mendocino we are pleased to host a show entitled 'Monarama' by local artist, Richard Weiss. Richard has taken Mona Lisa and put her in interesting situations, wardrobes and with family and friends! Some of his images are painted kinetic linocuts and others were created in watercolor pencil or acrylics. This show is definitely worth a viewing and Richard will be in the gallery for a meet and greet on September 13th from 4 to 7pm during Mendocino's Second Saturday Art Walk event so please come by and chat with him about his riffs on Mona! The show will run from September 5th through October 30th, six days a week (gallery closed Thursdays) from 11am to 4pm. Hope to see you soon!
