Where: Shelburne Farms
Free: Registration Required
Step off the trail, and into the pasture to discover the many benefits that grazing livestock offer our land, animals and people. During this guided walk, we'll explore what’s happening both above and below ground. Learn about carbon sequestration, the living “soil sponge,” how animals graze and offer fertility in a rotational system, and how nutrients in grass-fed meat can support human health.
With a shovel in hand, we’ll meander for a one to two mile walk, and close our experience with a succulent picnic of farm-raised food. Bring your grazing questions, any tools you use for observing the land around you, and footwear/clothing to be comfortable outdoors for 2.5 hours. Mobility accommodations are available. Supported by the Forrest C. and Frances H. Lattner Foundation.
