Modified Operations at Sheep Pasture
updated: 6/17/21
SHEEP PASTURE PROPERTY USE & ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION
The NRT continues to operate its Sheep Pasture property with the primary goal of having the Sheep Pasture property open is to allow individuals daily access for personal health, family recreation, and emotional wellness.
Please continue to use the precautionary measures of staying home if you have been diagnosed with Covid-19 exposure (or are feeling ill). When outdoors, social distancing and masks are strongly encouraged for anyone who is not fully vaccinated or who are part of a vulnerable population. Masks are currently required during NRT classes and activities. Please remember that many people come to Sheep Pasture for exercise and for relaxation because they feel comfortable there and they cannot safely go to places where larger numbers of people gather. In order to maintain a comfortable and healthy environment to all visitors at Sheep Pasture, we ask that the property be used for sports team meets, personal parties, or as a group gathering meet up space outside of rental events only after speaking with the NRT office and developing a rental contract. For details, please contact info@nrtofeaston.org. Family pets continue to be welcome on trail areas to enjoy the outside, too. For safety, all pets must be leashed at all times when on NRT property.
We ask that visitors please remember to maintain social distancing space when interacting with staff on site, and please do not allow children to climb on any equipment that may be parked outdoors. Please understand that members of the NRT staff may request visitors to wear masks when on site if needed. NRT's public offices at Sheep Pasture are currently closed to visitors. Staff members will be available by email at info@nrtofeaston.org to answer any questions that you may have, and information will also be posted to our website as any changes are made; messages can also be left on the NRT office phone at 508-238-6049. Receiving answers to your email or call may take some extra time, as most staff are working home/office hybrid schedules throughout the week. To help NRT staff who are on site working to keep the property safe and open every day, please dispose of all waste, including gloves, tissues, masks, food wrappers, dog bags, etc. in the containers provided throughout the property. Everyone's help in maintaining a safe environment helps us continue to be a resource for you.
A limited number of small group rentals are available at the NRT pavilion when it is not otherwise in use. Gatherings, meetings, and other group activities are not allowed without a rental agreement from NRT. Indoor rentals of the Carriage House building are not currently available. For more information on rental availability and guidelines, please email info@nrtofeaston.org.
Photography sessions can again be booked for member photographers and their clients.
At this time, mini-sessions (are permitted with authorization about placement of props/ location and times from the NRT.
More information on scheduling a session, guidelines for photography sessions, or any other questions can be obtained by clicking here to email Clare Cunningham at NRT.
Our staff and volunteers are working hard to keep the property safe and open for the benefit of the entire community, as well as creating science-based learning opportunities through social media, summer programs, small group nature programs, and with virtual programming for those who cannot visit.
Thank you to everyone!
