Wildland Sanctuary will host an Earth Day Festival from 5 to 8 p.m., April 22, 2026, at its wildlife rescue facility in Naples. The community event invites guests to celebrate nature while learning about wildlife rescue and environmental stewardship.

“This Earth Day celebration will highlight the connection between people, animals and the natural world while encouraging everyday actions that help protect natural resources,” shares Ana Batista, president of Wildland Sanctuary Rescue Inc. Set on the sanctuary’s nearly five-acre property, the evening will feature live music by the Coral Stone band, food and drink available for purchase, along with opportunities to see rescued exotic birds and other animals that call the sanctuary home.

Wildland Sanctuary is a nonprofit wildlife rescue organization dedicated to caring for animals while encouraging people to reduce their environmental impact through practices such as reducing, reusing and recycling. “Along with it being about appreciating Mother Earth, this event is always a fundraiser for the barn so we can rescue more animals too,” adds Bartista.

Location: 1253 Ivy Way, Naples. For more information, call 239-380-4804 or 239-427-6084, email [email protected] or visit WildlandSanctuary.org.
