Hurricane Charlie and Center for Great Apes – August 14, 2004

The Center sustained a considerable amount of wind damage to a large
number of trees on the property. Much of the protective shade the primates
needed was destroyed. Many of the paths on the property were also
blocked with fallen trees and limbs. Volunteers helped cut down the
damaged trees and broken limbs.

Our friends needed our help and we gave it:
These are pictures taken Saturday August 21st. on our volunteer day at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula. SOS in conjunction with the Roots & Shoots kids that have volunteered here for 3 yrs, traveled to Wachula to help clear the debris left by hurricane Charley. By the time we left Saturday, almost all the paths were open again and a lot of the smaller debris had been moved to piles the heavy equipment could remove. Thanks to everyone who came and helped another sanctuary in their time of
need.
