Wooly Wisdom September 13, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: 10-2pm
Phone: 384-4060 ex 304
Have you ever wondered why sheep suddenly appear in the Boise foothills for a few days in the Spring and Fall? Would you like to know where they are coming from and where they are going? Do you want to find out how dogs help protect sheep and keep them in line? You and your family are invited to learn the answers to these questions and get some "woolly wisdom" about the Western tradition of sheep trailing at this fun family event at the Foothills Learning Center. You will have a chance to see sheep up close and personal, see them get sheared, and touch and see the beautiful handicrafts made from their wool. Kids can try their hands at spinning and dyeing wool and making felt. You will learn about the history of sheep grazing in the Boise foothills, how trailing is managed today, and steps you can take to prevent conflicts with sheep on trails. This is a second annual event sponsored again by the Idaho Rangeland Commission. Join us for a really fun day.
