Owl Release & Picnic

Saturday, July 18th | 4:00 PM – Dusk

The most magical family event of the year is back! Join the Wildlife Care Association for an unforgettable afternoon in the beautiful Marjorie’s Garden at Heringer Estates. Together, we are celebrating local wildlife, community, and the majestic birds that keep our Sacramento Delta ecosystem thriving.

Bring your blankets and lawn chairs to relax, enjoy local food vendors, and meet some of our resident non-releasable wildlife ambassadors up close! You can also support our mission by participating in our on-site raffle. The absolute highlight of the night happens at dusk, when we celebrate the grand finale: releasing beautifully rehabilitated owls back into the wild where they belong.

Every ticket purchased directly helps fund the care, medical treatment, and rehabilitation of thousands of local wild animals this year.
