Community
Reaches Out to Help Out of Africa
Wildlife

Phoenix
, AZ
, May
27, 2004 – Since the announcement
of the eviction of Out of Africa Wildlife Park by the Fort McDowell
Indian Tribe, the community has come to the rescue. Companies
and individuals from the Phoenix
and Verde
Valley
area have come in droves
to help the 16-year-old wildlife park tear down, pack and move
its 300+ wild by nature animals.
The
May 5 th eviction notice came as a surprise to park officials,
Dean and Prayeri Harrison
, who now have only a few
weeks left to tear down 16 acres of habitats, move all the animals,
and reconstruct the park at a whole new location. Because of
the sudden eviction and short amount of time to do something
near to impossible, Out of Africa reached out to the community
and came back with dozens of responses.
Companies
and individuals from many different industries and walks of
life have responded to their plight in the form of volunteering
physical labor, services and contributions. Firms such as SRP,
A Touch Of Boulders, Friends & Town of Camp Verde, Falcon
Power, Eclipse Communications, Deutsch Assoc, Yavapai Nation
Sand & Rock and many more too numerous to mention at this
time.
“We
are so pleased that Camp
Verde
, the Verde
Valley
and the surrounding central
and northern Arizona
communities have opened their hearts to us,” said Dean Harrison,
park owner and president. “This is a daunting task and community
support is very important. We are a team. ”
