Essex County Greenbelt, West Newbury Wild Native, and the West Newbury Agricultural Committee invite you to join us for a free webinar on Wednesday evening,
November 11th, from 7:30-9:00 PM EST.
Please RSVP at https://tinyurl.com/westnewburygoatsandsheep, and we will email you a link to the webinar.
The webinar will explore how sheep and goats can support regenerative farming and conservation by improving soil health, controlling invasive plants, increasing soil carbon storage, and supporting wildlife.
Keegan Delurey will explain how carefully managed rotational grazing recycles nutrients, encourages root growth, and improves nesting habitat for grassland-nesting birds. He will also demonstrate how livestock can be used to manage unwanted vegetation, reduce invasive plants, and create opportunities to reestablish native grasses and wildflowers as part of a broader habitat restoration plan.
Delurey spent four years as a shepherd practicing regenerative grazing in Vermont, worked closely with the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS), and now helps lead Mass Audubon’s salt marsh restoration work at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.
