Show Notes

Angel Barba, a retired teaching assistant in Lafayette, has transformed her home into a squirrel sanctuary, currently caring for six baby squirrels. She provides round-the-clock care, feeding them up to twelve times a day. Wildlife rehab centers are overwhelmed with baby squirrels, especially during spring when tree trimming disrupts nests. Some native squirrel species, like the California ground squirrel, are declining, highlighting the importance of rehabilitation efforts. Angel aims to return the squirrels to the wild, and some have even returned for a visit, showing gratitude. Volunteers are needed at places like Lindsay Wildlife Experience to support these efforts.
