Jumbo fun at Easter with the Woburn ellys
The Park is hoping to raise more than £10,000 for the International Elephant Foundation (IEF) which funds research, education programmes and the protection of these amazing pachyderms for future generations.
The Woburn herd plays a pivotal role in the preservation of the species which is endangered through loss of natural habitat and disruption of migration routes.

Guests will also be able to support the Foundation by taking part in a range of themed activities and games in return for a small donation.
General manager Drew Mullin said: “We’re committed to raising awareness and supporting conservation projects including the IEF.
“Our elephant herd are a shining example of this and are genetically very important to the long-term preservation of their wild relations.
