SKY VALLEY, Calif. (KESQ) — Putting service into action, the Kiwanis Club of Palm Springs helped clean Kitty’s Wildlife Refuge and Rescue in Sky Valley Saturday.
The annual event brings together club members from across the Coachella Valley, in a show of unity and teamwork.
Kitty Pallesen, the sanctuary owner, says club members completed 6 months of work in one day, helping with raking, water basin maintenance, and cleanup in the tortoise habitat and raven aviary.
Pallesen says, “I see high school kids coming out here, students coming out here and I was never exposed to anything like this when I was in high school. When I see these young people coming out here, it just warms my heart.”
