The Lee County Library System, which includes the Captiva Memorial Library, is offering the following free virtual programming for all ages:
ADULT PROGRAMS
– June 11: Beginning Basic Genealogy Research at 10 a.m.
Seminar will cover the Ten Steps to Genealogical Research success and how to effectively navigate through the research process. Advance registration required.
TEEN PROGRAMS
– June 22: Wildlife Rehabilitation with Nature’s Nursery at 1 p.m.
What does it mean to be a wildlife rehabilitator? What do you do if you find an animal you believe needs help? How can you help the animal? This program will introduce teens to current happenings in the clinic and nursery while teaching attendees how to respond if they find an injured animal. The program will also teach teens how to build a bird’s nest with twigs, sticks and leaves found outside of the home.
As the number of animals being brought into the care of local nonprofit Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release grows, board president Bev Myers says the organization is in need of more volunteers.
The organization’s Intake Center, at 809 Maltman Drive, Grass Valley, is currently being used primarily for triage and caring for birds until they can be transferred, according to Myers.
Birds are being transferred to Gold Country Wildlife Rescue, which Myers said has the facilities, staff, and volunteers to take care of them.
Myers said Wildlife Rehabilitation and Rescue’s Intake Center is mostly taking in songbirds or varieties like woodpeckers, while raptors and small mammals are being rehabilitated more at the homes of organization members who are able to take them in.
