Winter Volunteers in Action

March 19, 2026 by Anna

Spring is definitely in the air in Cle Elum, so much so that I can even hear the frogs making a ruckus in the pond by the cattle pasture! Let’s bid adieu to winter with a look back at some of the volunteers and interns who helped make the colder months more comfortable for the chimpanzees and our grateful staff. We included these photos in our weekly “Thank You” email updates to our volunteers throughout the winter and I thought it would be nice to share them as a collection.

Parker, Jay, Jordan and Nancy giving Honey B something to intensely stare at during her lunches.

Brandon keeping on top of the laundry folding:

Cristina scrubbing smoothie splatter off the walls in the kitchen:

Debbie sorting Foxie’s dolls:

Parker squeegeeing Playroom 3:

Lori showing off her sweeping skills:

Burrito playing tug-o-war with one of his best caregiver friends Elizabeth.
