Wild Earth Backyard Bash

Top off Earth Week 2026 with a fun nature and art festival put on by a community of dedicated friends of wildlife! There will be live animal encounters including meet & greet opportunities with native birds of prey, nature exhibits, talks with scientists, games and activities, arts & crafts to participate in as well as an arts fair with local artisans to support, and more!
