In 2026, the Wildlife Clinic continues the Blessing of the Turtles, our bi-annual event held each spring and fall. Led by the America Wisdom Association, it celebrates the resilience of turtles in nature and spirituality. 

This gathering raises awareness about conservation, highlighting challenges like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change.​ The event strengthens community connection to wildlife and fosters ecological and spiritual stewardship.
