​Ticks are out!
This year, ticks are enjoyed a wet and mild winter throughout most of southern New England. With warm temperatures and damp conditions continuing into summer, ticks are very comfortable being out and about.
If you spend time outdoors, including at Sheep Pasture, be sure to check yourself and your pets for ticks after any outdoor activities. You never know if you have an unwelcome hitchhiker!

Please note that hunting or trapping of any kind is not allowed on any NRT property, at any time. For more information, ​please visit the NRT's FAQ page by clicking here.

If you have a special request for a larger order of eggs (over 5 dozen), please contact the NRT in advance to discuss availability and pick up options. Thank you for supporting Sheep Pasture!

Please be sure to use caution when visiting Sheep Pasture in all types of weather. Trails are not groomed, so there could be areas of standing water, mud, branches, etc. depending on recent conditions. We strongly suggest visitors bring water for both pets and people when visiting.
