In Ithaca, NY, Linsey Madison launched Wild By Nurture, a nonprofit focused on rehabilitating orphaned and injured wild animals during spring and summer seasons. The organisation rescues diverse species—squirrels, birds, raccoons—providing medical care, rehabilitation, and eventual release. Madison emphasises community education to reduce human–wildlife conflict and prevent future injuries. As wild animals emerge from winter, the group's efforts fill a vital gap in regional wildlife rescue services. With plans to expand volunteers and secure funding, Wild By Nurture aims to be a cornerstone of wildlife conservation in the Finger Lakes.
