A WildAlert Road Trip
In early April, our co-founder and president, Rachel Avilla, traveled through Arizona with Terra Kelly, a WNDP board member and close colleague. The purpose of the trip was to connect with wildlife rehabilitation organizations and the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD).
Oilapalooza 2024
Our team recently attended Oilapalooza in Bakersfield, California. This bi-annual event is hosted by the Oiled Wildlife Care Network and UC Davis. This year’s event was held on October 23rd and 24th and included a full oil spill response drill.
