THE SHEEP PASTURE

The Sheep Pasture is the 154-acre working farm and conservation area of the Natural Resources Trust of Easton, a non-profit organization whose mission is open space preservation and environmental education. Sheep Pasture is comprised of beautiful meadows, fields, forest, and streams, with walking trails that meander throughout. Sheep Pasture is the home of chickens, ducks, turkeys, goats, and sheep, in addition to the wildlife that lives on the property. The NRT provides environmental programming at Sheep Pasture for school children, scouts, families, and adults.

The NRT also runs a Summer Nature Day Camp where children have fun while learning about the local flora and fauna. The NRT sponsors a Farmer’s Market and Community Gardens at Sheep Pasture. Sheep Pasture is supported through membership dues, fundraising, and donations.
