Herding Off the Balds
Todd with Bean and Baxter
The 5th Annual Herding of the Goats off the Balds is set for Wednesday September 12, meeting at Carvers Gap about 8am. Todd Eastin will meet the volunteers, have a short herding instructions and safety meeting, then hike out to the goats who should be positioned on the lower edge of Jane Bald at Engine Gap. Should take about 2 hours if things go smoothly. If you would like to volunteer please email Todd (eastin@skybest.com) in advance so that we can put you on the Volunteers in Forests list. Thanks a bunch and hope to see you Wednesday.
