Sheep Herding Demonstration

Join Friends of Tivoli Lake Pre­serve and Farm for a sheep herd­ing demon­stra­tion on Gov­er­nors Island. Head to Ham­mock Grove to watch their shep­herd, along with Kirk – their intre­pid herd­ing dog – in action and learn about all that it takes to man­age a flock of sheep and con­trol inva­sive plant species through regen­er­a­tive land prin­ci­ples. You’ll also have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to buy wool fresh from the farm (dona­tion-based).

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• Demon­stra­tions are free and will take place in Ham­mock Grove on Gov­er­nors Island.
• Look but don’t touch! Spec­ta­tors will be asked to main­tain a safe dis­tance from the ani­mals to main­tain sheep safe­ty and comfort.
