Thank you for supporting the trail!

Northaven TAILS

Every Fall we prepare our wonderful wildflower areas for next year’s flowers. And this year we are getting some new helpers - 400 Goats and Sheep will be grazing 30 of our 50 pollinator areas to prepare them for next year.

The goats and sheep are part of a natural, low-impact approach to trail maintenance that supports native habitat and brings joy to the community.

Come out and watch them in action!

We are bringing 400 goats and sheep to the Northaven Trail to help us manage 30 of our 50 no-mow zones. They will start over by US75 and work their way west from there.
