A Day in the Rainforest

March 23, 2015 by Elizabeth

Today’s enrichment theme is Rainforest Day, and we did our best to turn the sanctuary into a tropical paradise. Volunteer caregiver Becca arrived this morning with her arms full – she brought a giant roll of green paper for a canopy and many rolls of streamers.

The chimpanzees enjoyed a breakfast forage in the greenhouse. They searched the forest for apples, oranges, peanuts, and primate chow.

    Love the tissue paper “flower” in back of Annie! Nice job gang, you amaze me with your creativity. I think people should do this to their workspace to enrich their days too! Who wouldn’t enjoy working for a day in a tropical rainforest?!
