Help Build the Future of Redbud Barn — as part of our 30th Anniversary year celebration, The Elephant Sanctuary is embarking on a major expansion of Redbud Barn—formerly known as the Africa Barn. 

The Redbud Barn Expansion Project will increase the existing barn from 8,035 to 13,935 square feet, creating sustainable, accessible space for veterinary and husbandry care, plus provide a place for elephants to connect indoors and have additional socialization opportunities year round.

Gifts to this Project will fund:

  • 5,000 square feet of additional indoor space built to bull-sized standards for year round socialization

  • Enhanced areas for continued Protected Contact (PC) management, positive reinforcement, and enrichment

  • Environmentally responsible and energy efficient design features that reduce our long-term energy use

Your support can bring this project to life. Construction will begin soon and contracts have been secured to complete this purpose-built structure by the end of 2025. 

Osh

The total cost of the Redbud Barn Expansion Project is estimated at just under $3.5 million. Thanks to generous gifts from estates, foundations, and individuals, plus monies budgeted from The Sanctuary’s financial reserves, a large portion of this project has been funded. We are soliciting your help to raise $250,000 in 2025 to support the completion of this special project by December 2025 and provide indoor socialization opportunities for elephants year round. 

If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to Erin Harris, Resource Development Manager, at erin@elephants.com or 931-796-6500, ext. 110.
