The Elephant SanctuaryTo learn more about the Sanctuary, visit www.elephants.com. You can make a donation through their website or by sending a check to: The Elephant Sanctuary P.O. Box 393 Hohenwald TN 38462 On June 24, I was in Hohenwald, Tennessee raising funds for The Elephant Sanctuary, a home for old, sick or needy elephants in a natural habitat. The elephants come from zoos and circuses. Please help them.  The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, is the nation's largest natural habitat refuge developed specifically to meet the needs of endangered elephants. The Sanctuary exists to privide a haven for old, sick, or needy elephants in a setting of green pastures, old-grown forests, spring-fed ponds, and a heated barn for cold winter nights. It also provides education about the crisis facing these social, sensitive creatures. These elephants have come after being retired from zoos and circuses. Utilizing more than 2700 acres, it provide three separate and protected, natural habitat environments for Asian and African elephants. Instead of having to perform or entertain for the public, the elephants are encouraged to live like elephants.
Development of The Elephant Sanctuary's facilities began in March 1995. Phase I included a heated barn, a 200-acre steel pipe and cable elephant corral, and a 222-acre perimeter "people" fence. In 2001, a 700-acre parcel of land with a 35-acre lake was acquired. In July 2003, there was another land acquisition of a 1840-acre parcel of wilderness that was previously owned by International paper. In September 2005, a new Asian elephant house was completed. As a true sanctuary, The Elephant Sanctuary is not intended to provide entertainment. Patron donors are invited to tour the facility, but the Sanctuary is closed to the general public. Education, however, represents a key component of the Sanctuary's ongoing mission. Since its inception, the Sanctuary's outreach program has taught thousands of school children around the globe a respect for wildlife while learning about the endangered Asian elephant. To see the slide show and find out more about the Sanctuary, you can check out their website at www.elephants.com. You can also make a donation to the project on the internet. If you would like to make a donation in Peggy's honor you can do that by sending a check to: The Elephant Sanctuary P.O.
