We’re bringing stories to life with Stories & Specimens at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History! In this engaging program, children are invited to gather for a lively story time, where fascinating tales spark curiosity and set the stage for exploration. Each session dives into a themed topic, connecting stories to science and cultural history with museum objects that let kids see, touch, and discover in our interactive Discovery Room. Best of all, Stories & Specimens is included free with museum admission, making it the perfect way for young learners to enjoy interactive storytelling and hands-on exploration all in one visit!
The Oklahoma Animal Coalition is asking Oklahomans to turn off non-essential outdoor lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. during spring migration season (March 15-May 31). Excessive outdoor lighting confuses birds as they migrate through the state, separating them from their flocks, causing collisions with buildings and powerlines, and getting lost in dangerous environments. Learn more about the Lights Out Oklahoma initiative at okczoo.org/lightsout.

The WildCare Oklahoma 2026 Baby Shower includes some exciting new opportunities to explore and experience:
You’ll also be able to tour the center, visit with our staff and volunteers, and learn more about how we’re working to meet the growing need for wildlife conservation and care across Oklahoma.
It’s a fun and welcoming day, and it's a chance to see how all of us can be part of helping wildlife and people thrive together.
Bring friends, family, and colleagues that you think would be inspired by WildCare Oklahoma's singularly unique mission in the state of Oklahoma.
They'll see and learn more about medical and rehabilitative care for orphaned and injured wildlife, the organization's conservation education, research, and advocacy work, and ways to help wildlife throughout the state.
This event is also our biggest supplies and financial resources drive of the year—and it comes at a critical time as more and more orphaned baby animals arrive each day.
Since it’s a baby shower, we invite you to bring a “gift” if you’re able. Donations—both supplies and monetary—help us care for the thousands of orphaned, injured, and ill wild animals that come through our doors during the busiest months ahead.
You can:
We hope you’ll come and spend some time with us on Saturday, May 2. It’s a meaningful (and fun!) day, and we’d love to share it with you.
