Lindsay Wildlife Museum In Need Of Funds
The non-profit center has launched a fundraising campaign before its busy spring season begins
The Lindsay Wildlife Museum is asking the public for some financial assistance in 2014.
The non-profit center sent a letter to supporters during the holiday season asking for money before its busy spring season, according to a story in the Contra Costa Times.
The 60-year-old museum on First Avenue costs $500,000 a year to operate and it was $100,000 short of what it needs, the Times reported.
The plea comes a few months before the spring months when the museum becomes inundated with baby birds and mammals.
Last week, the museum announced it has hired long-time environmental program manager Norma Bishop as its new executive director.
The museum went through a number of staffing changes in 2013, including the resignation of an executive director and a veterinarian, the Times reported.
