HOHENWALD, Tenn. (WTVF) — Every year, The Elephant Sanctuary collects Christmas trees to help supplement the elephants' winter diets.
Trees can be delivered to the Elephant Discovery Center at 27 East Main Street, Hohenwald, TN 38462. The last day to donate is Jan. 20, and the trees must be free of all tinsel and decorations before they are dropped off. The limit is five trees per household.
The Elephant Sanctuary is the nation’s largest natural-habitat refuge developed specifically for Asian and African elephants. It is located on 3,060 acres in Hohenwald, Tennessee, and it is currently home to 12 elephant residents.
The elephant habitats are closed to the public, so if you drop off a tree you will not see them, according to the release. If you have any questions, you can call (931) 796-6500.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
