Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary for primates.
What a day! The video above says it all, but below are a few still photos.
Chad, on his day off, happened to see Missy’s climb as he was accompanying a former chimp house volunteer on a walk around the hill. He and J.B. took some videos with their phones as I walked up with the camera and telephoto lens, which was not working right away, but I did get one good photo of Missy amidst the branches, foraging on pine needles:
and some photos on her way down:
Big thanks to Jim, Audrey, Brian, a super hardworking group from Seattle’s Northwest Animal Rights Network (NARN), and all of Saturday’s volunteers, we finished setting the poles for the primary fence yesterday!
J.B.’s secret hope is to get all of the poles in for the secondary fence next weekend, so now is the time to contact him to volunteer.
Take a look at some photos of the work yesterday:
Here’s one of my favorite new features of the hill – we’re calling this Missy’s tunnel:
Below is a photo of Karl, one of the NARN volunteers, testing out a firehouse swing. The chimps are going to have so much fun on the hill!
