Let’s Do a Perimeter Check!

September 27, 2024 by Krissy Brasfield

One of the first things we caregivers do each morning is to perform a perimeter check.  We check the all important rattlesnake fencing for holes.  Next, we check the primary and secondary fencing that surrounds the chimps 4 acre habitat to be sure that it has remained sound through the night.  We also make sure everyone onsite has performed a radio check, we check locks, and we make sure the fence voltage is within an acceptable range.

Next, we let the chimps out onto their respective outdoor habitats!  Young’s Hill is home to Jamie’s group, and Cy’s group has access to The Bray.  It’s fun to see who is first to go outside each morning!

Come along with us!

In memory of Rich Stuverud

September 27, 2024 by Katelyn

We’re sending our heartfelt gratitude to Lisa Stuverud for sponsoring this day of sanctuary in memory of her beloved husband, Rich Stuverud. Lisa and Rich have been supporters of the chimpanzees and their sanctuary home for many years and we’re touched to be included in such a special honoring.

“September 27th would have been my husband Rich’s 80th birthday and although he passed earlier this year I will always celebrate him and the chimpanzees and humans at CSNW he grew to embrace. CSNW is a safe spot for us, full of kindness, love, community, hard work, awareness and joy. Our summer trips, “Hoots” and enrichments are all highlights in the life we shared together and I will continue share with CSNW. Please enjoy this day and everyday!!!”

We’re thinking of you, Lisa, and hoping the chimpanzees bring your heart moments of comfort and beauty as you hold memories of Rich and your life together close. Thank you for all you both have helped make possible in the chimpanzees’ lives.
