WILLIAMS – Philanthropist and champion for conservation, Jack Hanna arrived at Bearizona this morning to begin filming for an upcoming television episode that will air on his popular “Into the Wild” series.

“We are thrilled that Jack, his family and crew have decided to include Bearizona as part of their Arizona adventure said CEO and owner Sean Casey.” Sean also stated that “Jack is legendary and has done so much throughout his career educating the public on animal conservation and we are happy to be a partner in his efforts.”

Jack likes being put to work and during his visit at the park, he will do just that. Jack will drive through with animal keepers helping them with their daily routine of caring for the animals. Jack will also hop on the “Wild Ride VIP Bus Tour” and view the park just as a regular visitor would.

Park officials are unsure on the episode’s air date but will post updates via social media.

Bearizona’s mission is to promote conservation through memorable and educational encounters with North American wildlife in a natural environment.
