Old projects and new projects

October 4, 2010 by Elizabeth

Life with chimpanzees is wonderful, but it is far from predictable. Sometimes things don’t happen when you plan (and vice versa). Awhile back, we did a fundraising drive to raise money for a new door in the chimps’ enclosure. In exchange for donations, we promised to paint donors’ names on a new mural in the outdoor area. Well, we may be slow, but we do keep our promises! Today, volunteer Kim McAndrews (who is our volunteer graphic designer from Peach Design who designed the Out of the Box auction logo, among many other things) is working hard on that mural. Here are a couple of shots of a work in progress:

As if that isn’t enough excitement for one day, David Binczewski (of Booshoot Gardens fame) and volunteer Ken Mikkelsen are here helping J.B. plant the first round of bamboo on Young’s Hill.

We’ll be sure to share more photos when the projects are completed!

    The mural is gorgeous! I know the chimps will love it. I bet J.B. was really excited to begin planting on Young’s Hill. I can’t wait to see the chimps enjoying their big enclosure!

    Thanks for a wonderful day with the chimps and their awesome caregivers. I’m still smiling.
