Read the FAQRestoration You Can See
Northaven TAILS uses managed goat and sheep grazing to open pollinator zones, reduce heavy vegetation, and prepare the ground for native wildflower reseeding.
Natural land care
Reduce dense growth
Goats and sheep graze vegetation in places where repeated mowing or herbicide use may be less desirable.
Wildflower preparation
Improve seed contact
Grazing helps reduce thatch so native wildflower seed can reach the soil.
Community impact
Make restoration visible
The flock turns habitat work into an educational experience for trail users and neighbors.
After the graze
Plant native wildflowers
Once the herd finishes an area, we plant native wildflower seed on the freshly grazed ground so the blooms return next season.
New for 2026
