Bridge To Nature: A WildCare Celebration

Join Cavallo Point and WildCare for an unforgettable day celebrating the connection between people, wildlife, and the natural world at beautiful Cavallo Point Lodge.

Bridge to Nature is an immersive experience featuring up-close encounters with WildCare’s Animal Ambassadors, including our Northern Spotted Owl, Sequoia, and Sumi, our Virginia Opossum. Hands-on educational activities for the whole family include exploring our mobile nature exhibit where kids learn about the wildlife that the Bay Area has to offer while enjoying nature-based activities.

Savor an exquisite lunch by Cavallo Point’s Executive Chef Mike Garcia, featuring a vegetarian and vegan cookout with grilled favorites and a special menu for the little ones. Adults can enjoy craft beer and wine for purchase, all set to live music from Alex Kelly & Friends, plus raffle tickets and fabulous prizes up for grabs. 

Following lunch, hear inspiring stories of wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. Melanie Piazza, WildCare’s Director of Animal Care and Hospital Operations, will share how the hospital staff cares for and feeds baby mammals that we admit as patients and prepares them for release back to the wild. Jenny Papka from Native Bird Connections will then share her majestic hawks, owls and eagles. Learn from this raptor rehabilitator how these amazing birds hunt and the unique role they play in the ecosystem.  

Whether you’re a lifelong wildlife enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable day with family and friends, Bridge to Nature offers something for everyone.

Formerly Talons & Friends, Bridge to Nature celebrates all facets of WildCare’s mission, raptors and beyond.
