What is a Transhumance?

Transhumance is the seasonal movement of livestock from one grazing ground to another. Together, we’ll walk across the Monte Rio Bridge with the goats, starting at the Christmas Tree lot at the top of River Blvd. No experience needed—we’ll guide you through the process. We’ll finish back at the Park District with a short talk about grazing animals and wildfire resilience.

¡Vive la Trashumancia en Monte Rio!

Ven a caminar con nosotros mientras guiamos a las cabras por el corazón de Monte Rio, moviéndolas de un área de pastoreo a otra.

¿Qué es la trashumancia?

La trashumancia es el movimiento estacional del ganado de un terreno de pastoreo a otro. Juntos cruzaremos el Puente de Monte Rio con las cabras, comenzando en el lote de árboles de Navidad en la parte alta de River Blvd. No se necesita experiencia—te guiaremos durante todo el recorrido. Terminaremos de regreso en las oficinas del Distrito de Parques con una breve charla sobre el pastoreo de animales y la resiliencia frente a incendios forestales.
