The Green Chimneys animal calendar features 12 months of our animals and their real-life stories. Stay up-to-date with furry and feathered friends while supporting our programs for children and the care of our animals.
Featuring the work of the award-winning photographer Jason Houston, our annual calendar provides an artful look at some of our beloved animals and stories of how they arrived — and have thrived — at Green Chimneys.
Green Chimneys animals are partners in the education and therapy of children with special needs. Through a nature-based approach to special education, children with mental health and developmental disorders are connecting with animals, establishing coping skills, and experiencing success. All proceeds support therapeutic programs for children and animals.

This barred owl fell from his nest and ended up on the ground in New Paltz, NY where he was rescued and cared for but it was quickly apparent that he was severely disfigured. He had a twisted, crooked beak, his wing feathers weren’t fully developed and one eye was shut while the other did not look as it should. This was not a bird that could be released back into the wild. Green Chimneys wildlife specialists worked with a local veterinary hospital to improve the bird’s health and determined that the owl was totally blind in one eye and 80-90% blind in the other.
