💙 Now Live: Wildlife Jewels Rescue Support La Jolla Group!

We’ve launched a neighborhood group for the La Jolla community to share local wildlife rescue resources and guidance specific to our coastline.

If you come across wildlife that may be injured, entangled, orphaned, or in distress and aren’t sure what to do, this group helps connect reports to licensed wildlife rehabilitators and appropriate resources—plus simple tips to recognize signs of distress and what to do next.

👉 Join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lajollawildliferescuesupport

If you’re passionate about helping save birds and interested in joining our Rescue Crew, we’d love to hear from you. Training is required, and participation is by approval as we expand the pilot.

Every wildlife is precious — and knowing what to do can help save lives.
