Wildlife Waystation to relocate

 

PALM SPRINGS --Wildlife Waystation has signed a 99-year lease on a 50-acre lot near Interstate 10, board president Dean Seymour told Stefanie Frith of the Desert Sun on December 21, 2007, and expects to relocate about 400 animals from the 160-acre tract the Waystation has occupied since 1976 in Angeles National Forest.

"We are negotiating with nearby colleges," Seymour added. "We will have a full-blown veterinary school with veterinarians and vet techs on staff."

As of January 15, 2008, however, the Waystation was still more than $1 million in debt, according to the sanctuary web site, and was still seeking funds to build at the proposed new location.

Founder Martine Colette disclosed the extent of the debt in an August 2007 emergency appeal.
