Riddle's Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary - Greenbrier, AR - a facility dedicated to elephant and wildlife preservation

Riddle's Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary located in Greenbrier, Arizona opened on 330 acres during 1990. The facilities were established by Heidi and Scott Riddle as a non-profit to house elephants in need in the Ozark Mountains. The sanctuary accepts elephants no matter what their disposition, gender or species and is the only one that does this.

There has been a school for Elephant Management held at the Sanctuary every year since 1994. It is the only course in existence of its kind that covers all aspects of the management and care of elephants. The course goes over reproduction, foot care and nutrition among other aspects of their care. There are even guest speakers for the classes held.

The facility offers Elephant Experience Weekends as well. Patrons can take part in feeding and bathing the elephants in addition to being educated in elephant care. Weekends start on Friday giving visitors the chance to become acquainted with each other, the elephants and staff of the sanctuary. The actual work with the Elephants beings on Saturday morning with a lunch hosted by the sanctuary included.
