Fresh Picked Greens

April 27, 2015 by Keri

There has been a lot of talk these past few weeks regarding spring and the emergence of fresh green grass. Warm weather (minus the wind) and the appearance of the fresh grass signify the onset of spring here at the sanctuary. Most spring mornings the chimpanzees can be found lounging on the deck in the Greenhouse, where the morning sun shines on them.

This morning when staff member Katelyn and I walked up to the Greenhouse to greet the chimps, most of them lined up and gestured toward the grass growing just on the other side of the caging. We happily picked a few handfuls for them to enjoy as their morning snack.

After lunch, most of the chimps ventured out onto Young’s Hill, their 2-acre outdoor enclosure. Jamie and Missy set off on one (of many) walks around the hill, while Annie, Burrito, Foxie and Jody searched the ground for fresh grass and plants to eat.

Annie found a stash of fresh plants to forage on.

And then along came Burrito (far right).

Jody left the spot where her and Annie were sitting and gathered stalks of grass on her way back to the Greenhouse.

And then she made herself comfortable on the deck to enjoy her grass.

While everyone else went back inside, Annie ventured further uphill to continue her foraging.

Happy Birthday, Carolyn!

April 27, 2015 by Katelyn

Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Carolyn Clarke! Carolyn has graciously sponsored days in the past in honor of her loved ones. Today she is choosing to celebrate her own birthday by celebrating the chimpanzees and their life in sanctuary.

Each day we are privileged to witness what a life in sanctuary means to each of the chimpanzees. And each day we are privileged to witness how each of you make this possible for them. We are continually moved by the variety of ways in which so many amazing supporters near and far contribute to the chimpanzees’ well-being. And to think that someone chooses to celebrate their own life by ensuring that these seven chimps continue to live the lives they deserve is nothing short of astounding.

Carolyn, thank you so much for including the chimpanzees in your life. We wish you the happiest of days filled with all that brings you joy and love!

In Burrito’s case, that would mean food. Lots of food.
