Courtyard Rebuild
We've been hard at work tearing down and rebuilding our Courtyard pen and this vital project is still underway!
We'd like to thank all of our helpers so far: Kat, Lew, Barbara, Jimmy, Kathleen, Karen, Erica, Debbie, Dad & Ariel! You all made this enormous job possible!
But wait--the work's not done yet! We still need weekend volunteers who are comfortable measuring, cutting. lifting and holding wire mesh panels in place (which may include some ladder climbing) for the weekend of September 13th - 14th. If you're interested in helping please Email Us.
Can't volunteer, but still want to help out? Donations are always needed and greatly appreciated. Click Here to donate today!
