        African Safari Wildlife Park is accepting Christmas tree donations to be used in their daily animal enrichment program.
        Those who wish to donate a tree can pull their vehicles up to the Park's Administration Office building (located to the right of the center parking lot) between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Sunday. The park will be accepting tree donations through Thursday, Jan. 10.
        Before donating a tree, please make sure to remove all decorations, hooks and tinsel. Trees cannot be donated if they have been painted in any way or sprayed with fake snow. If you have any questions, call 1-800-521-2660.
        “Our animals love to have these trees incorporated into their enrichment,” said Park Director Kelsey Keller. “We appreciate and will gladly accept as many trees as the community would like to donate. We are always finding different, creative ways to use these trees around the park for the animals.”
        Stay tuned to the park's Facebook page for updates on tree donations.
        The Midwest's only Drive-Thru Safari, African Safari Wildlife Park, is located at 267 S. Lightner Rd. in Port Clinton. Tentative opening for 2021 is Friday, Feb. 26.
