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.
$30 each, including shipping and handling within the U.S.
Available while supplies last.

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
