A warm thank you to our friends at Urbanweeds, Steve and Tim, for hosting a Weeds and Needs benefit to help us! They donated 25% of their day’s tally – and we raised a whopping $400. We had a gorgeous sunny Saturday where people came by to shop for spring plants, planters and fun gifts as well as dropping off sheets and blankets for our Great Chimpanzee Nest Request. Urbanweeds has generously agreed to be a drop-off location for blankets so the chimpanzees always have plenty of nesting materials.

Thank you so much to everyone who made this a great success – and we hope to do it again at the end of the summer – so keep your eyes open for our announcement.
