The Gibbon Conservation Center in Saugus reports that “thanks to many generous donors” the gibbons have made good use of the additional heaters, tarps and insulated shelters during this winter’s spate of cold weather.

“The gibbons are enjoying them immensely during this unusually cold weather,” said Gabi Skollar, Director of the Gibbon Conservation Center. “Thankfully many gibbons received heating pads and new insulated houses and have been sitting on the heaters as staff have continued with their seven daily feeds.”

The Gibbon Center is requesting donations to assist with several items of defered maintenace at the center.

“We have several trees that need trimming ASAP and some areas of our fence needs reinforcing,” Skollar said. “We have put these expenses off as long as we safely can. It is a huge expense when our visitor attendance is suffering because of the bad weather. Please consider donating to help us fund these expenses as well as general operations of the center.”

Three donors have stepped up to match up to $15,000 in donations for the months of March and April.

Donations of any kind will be matched including memberships and adoptions.
