Who's Who in Cedar Tree Villa?
About This Group
Cedar Tree is one of the smaller villas at Project Chimps, currently housing 13 chimps. It's led by group alpha Bo and is connected to the Cedar Tree Annex Habitat by Skylar's Bridge, which you may spot the chimps walk across to get from their villa to the habitat! The Cedar Tree Annex Habitat also has one of the most unique climbing structures at the sanctuary: a retired roller coaster loop originally from Kings Island in Ohio!

Chimp Chatter About This Group:
-
Project Chimps volunteer and Australian expat Gordon Hewett describes the ways human visitors serve as enrichment for former research chimpanzees during sanctuary tours.
-
Ryan Kennedy combines his expertise in horticulture with his passion for chimpanzees. On any given day, you’ll find Ryan bushwhacking through tall stands of invasive bamboo or climbing ladders to carefully prune native trees in the forest. His cuttings then become a major source of enrichment for former research chimpanzees.
