The elephant serves an important role in the ecology of many African nations, but because of poaching, these iconic animals could be extinct in less than a decade.

Internationally-known conservationist Pratik Patel, founder of the African Wildlife Trust and CEO of Safari Legacy, will speak at the Gardens. Focusing on African elephants, he'll discuss the variety of initiatives designed to benefit broader efforts to combat illegal wildlife trade, and what must be done to prevent the elephant’s demise.

Propagator Club members are invited to join us tor food, wine and fellowship, and to meet with Patel prior to the public presentation. As always, this event is free for Propagator Club members, but we ask that you kindly RSVP.
