Black River Action Team

Perimeter fencing is UP at Greven Field in Proctorsville, in preparation for our goat workforce that is due to arrive this coming week! Aimee Braxmeier of Slippery Slope Goats will be delivering two herds of four-legged w**d-eaters, to be deployed in two areas of the perimeter of the beloved former athletic field.

Many thanks to volunteers Margo Caulfield of "Cavendish Connects" and Robin Chadwick of Ludlow - we were done in less than two hours, with four of us working.

Ideally, the goats should be left to do their work this week...the white fencing is electrified, so please avoid approaching it. The goats are also outfitted with GPS collars so they can be contained within a virtual paddock.

There will be an open house-style "sendoff" to say farewell and 'thanks' to Aimee and her goats, currently scheduled for Saturday June 13th from 1-4pm. We hope to have a goat available for interviews (and petting)! ;-)

This will be a great opportunity to learn more about the project, leave a small donation to help fund the goats, and talk with Aimee about her work. You can also sign up to help us recreate Greven Field into its next version of itself: a combination functional floodplain and community space for low-impact recreation and events.
