We're going Orange for Orangutans - Fri 17th Oct

We are supporting Chester Zoo and Act for Wildlife's 'Go Orange for Orangutans'  fundraising event!

Orangutans are one of our closest relatives. We share OVER 96% of our DNA with them and, along with humans, they're the only great ape to live outside of Africa.

Known as the 'old man of the forest', they're also the only apes that spend almost their entire lives in the rainforest canopies of Sumatra and Borneo. Their treetop homes are some of the oldest on earth and had remained almost unchanged for the past 70 million years. However in the 21st century the demand for timber, palm oil, roads, agricultural land and space for mining means huge areas of the forest have now been lost, taking with it the homes of orangutans. With their numbers dwindling we're on the verge of losing this species FOREVER. Go Orange for Orangutans and help replant the rainforest to save our cousins in the wild.


Go Orange for Orangutans Day at the Nursery!

We are suggesting that your donate a pound and that your little one comes dressed in orange!  You don't have to be completely orange but a hat, t-shirt, socks, dress would be fine.

100% of money raised will go to the charity.
