New Friends

December 17, 2015 by Elizabeth

The Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees don’t have a lot of guy friends. JB is the only male staff member and the majority of our chimp house volunteers are women. Since men are such a novelty around here, they’re usually given an enthusiastic welcome by the chimps.

Volunteer Zane has recently progressed in his training from Level I to Level II, which means that instead of working solely in the kitchen and away from the chimpanzees, he is now cleaning enclosures, offering the chimps a previously unprecedented level of (visual) access to him. They couldn’t be happier. Annie and Jody both gave him extended googly-eyed greetings this morning, and Burrito spent awhile sitting in the front rooms this afternoon craning his neck to try to get a good view of Zane processing produce in the kitchen. Here’s to new friends!

Happy Birthday, Arva!

December 17, 2015 by Katelyn

Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Arva Roland! She shared this message about today: “It’s my birthday and I have loved chimps since I was very little.”

Happy Birthday, Arva! Thank you so much for caring about the chimpanzees and making a difference in their lives! We are so touched that you chose to give this gift as a way to celebrate both their lives and your own. All of us here at CSNW wish you the happiest of days and hope it’s one filled with the love, joy, and comfort that you help provide for the chimps, as Annie brilliantly demonstrates:
