Volunteer Saturday, Nov. 19th

The monkey medical procedures are complete, but there is never a dull moment at Jungle Friends. On weekends we get most of our volunteers, and they are hard at work today remodeling a habitat.

The Enchanted Forest Habitat

Every now and then while cleaning a habitat, we give them a good remodeling and replanting.  The habitat getting a facelift today is "The Enchanted Forest," which is currently the domain of Angel, a brown capuchin. Volunteers Mary Kay, Josh, Cherry, Katie, Becky and Jason are the ones putting some elbow grease into this habitat, as well as Jungle Friends intern Brittany.






This involves raking and mulching the ground cover, replanting plants, and making minor repairs where necessary, as well as hanging buckets and barrels and all the other things the monkeys like to play on.

When the job was done, the volunteers received a guided tour of the sanctuary by JF Intern Shira.

Volunteers are essential to the daily operations of Jungle Friends and we couldn't do this without them.  If you would like to volunteer, please visit the Jungle Friends volunteer page for more information.  Thanks so much everyone!  More pictures from today's habitat remodeling below.
