The mission of Lindsay Wildlife Experience is to connect people with wildlife to inspire responsibility and respect for the world we share. The museum was founded in 1955 by Alexander Lindsay, a local businessman, to teach children about natural sciences, particularly wildlife and their habitats. Over the years, the museum has developed a permanent collection of live, non-releasable native California wildlife and related artifacts. Lindsay is also a leader in the field of wildlife rehabilitation with a full veterinary staff and more than 500 volunteers. It is the first, and frequently only, resource for those who encounter injured, ill, or orphaned wildlife of all species, native mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles . During the recent drought years, Lindsay has treated record number of wild animals (more than 5,700 in the first 10 months of 2015). Begun in 1970, this formal wildlife rehabilitation program was the first of its kind in the United States.

Sierra Wildlife Rescue's Mission is the preservation of El Dorado County's wildlife. As permitted by the Department of Fish and Game, Sierra Wildlife Rescue rehabilitates injured and orphaned mammals for release back into the wild. These includes a variety of squirrels, skunks, opossums, rabbits, foxes, fawns, raccoons, coyotes and bobcats. Sierra Wildlife Rescue rehabilitates injured and orphaned birds for release back into the wild. These include a variety of owls, hawks, falcons, kestrels, songbirds, corvids, waterfowl, game-birds and pigeons. Sierra Wildlife Rescue's Wildlife Education Program conducts outreach targeting schools, civic groups and community events to teach the public about wildlife protection and preservation, the benefits of peaceful coexistence with wildlife, and respect for its habitat. Additionally, the Wildlife Education Program offers classes year round at its Baby Bird Center (headquarters). Courses include "Wildlife for Children", "Are you Ready to Rehab?" and "Respecting Wildlife Habitat" among many others. And, Sierra Wildlife Rescue's Internship Program offers young people an opportunity to learn about wild animal protection, preservation and habitat needs.

The Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue (YUWR) and Education Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. We are dedicated to the rehabilitation of orphaned and injured wildlife living in urban city centers and education of the public about how to live harmoniously with our cities’ wildlife. We serve the San Francisco Bay Area in the State of California, USA. When an injured or orphaned wildlife mammal is found, we nurse these animals back to a healthy state where they are able to be released back into the wild. Through education to children and adults alike, we try to raise awareness of these wild residents of our cities in the hope that a better co-habitation will lead to less injuries/orphans and more enjoyment of the urban wildlife with which we share our cities. We are a grassroots organization and are 100% volunteer-run and donation-funded! Our Mission: To heal the sick and injured/orphaned animals brought to us and ready them for release back into our Urban Wilds. To educate people of all ages in the wonder and enjoyment of wildlife and nature and why it is so vital we protect it. To teach patience and compassion so that urban wildlife is viewed in a more positive light by everyone- not as pests, but as important co-habitators of our environment.
