Community Calendar

The WildCare Oklahoma 2026 Baby Shower includes some exciting new opportunities to explore and experience:

• Visit our new raccoon enclosure and see how we’re expanding care for Oklahoma wildlife
• Learn about our innovative Bat & Chimney Swift Rehabilitation Facility, a year-long collaboration with University of Oklahoma Architecture and Construction Science students
• Connect with local community partners and discover how we work together to support wildlife and the habitats we all share
• Enjoy new, family-friendly activities and hands-on experiences for all ages

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:

• View and shop from our Baby Shower Gift Registry
• Shop our Amazon Wish List and send items directly (If you ship items to us, please include a gift notice, so we know who to thank!)
• Or make a financial gift to support patient care

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.

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.

Explore Jakian Parks: The Black Land. Though the lens of photographer Jakian Parks, Oklahoma’s Black rodeo culture becomes both symbol and setting for survival, resurgence and celebration. Much like the rodeo itself, The Black Land connects the past and present, situating the American West as a living archive and center stage for Black cattlemen and cowboys alike. The Black Land honors the dignity, beauty and power of Black equestrian life as a living tradition of cultural and historical significance.
