2021 Animal Calendar

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 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.

All proceeds support therapeutic education for children and animals.

Cow

Blossom is a 1-year-old Holstein cow, and she was born a freemartin. A freemartin calf is a common result of twin calves; the female twin absorbs genetic material from a male twin in utero, and after birth develops male traits and subsequently becomes sterile. Since Blossom can’t produce milk, the dairy farm where she was born asked Green Chimneys if we’d like to have her, and of course, we agreed! Blossom came to us around the same time as another calf named Alfie, and the two have grown up together while being cared for by staff and students alike.
