Sheep Herding Demonstration
Jul 27, 2023
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.
