Green Chimneys was featured in The New York Times on Sunday, March 3. “Lessons Learned, by Way of a Barn,” by Richard Schiffman, highlights several Green Chimneys students, parents and staff and illustrates how animals help children with special needs learn and grow.
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.
