Hall & Property Rentals
NRT members are able to request hall and property rentals for some areas of Sheep Pasture for private and business functions, including the Carriage House, Foundation area, and DeVore pavilion. All rentals require completion of a rental contract and pre-approval by the NRT. Rental dates fill quickly, so people that are interested in renting at the Sheep Pasture facility are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible, and no less than 30 days before their event; dates are not considered booked until all rental fees are paid and contract is approved by an NRT staff member.
All fees collected from rental of Sheep Pasture's facilities directly support the operations of the Natural Resources Trust of Easton, which owns and operates the Sheep Pasture and other conservation properties.

Q: Why is there a fee for renting Sheep Pasture facilities? Isn't it owned by the town?
A: The Natural Resources Trust of Easton (NRT) owns and operates the much-loved Sheep Pasture as well as a number of additional conservation properties. The NRT is a private non-profit organization that is not municipally funded, so the staff and volunteers of the NRT work hard to fund all NRT operations, including Sheep Pasture, each year. To encourage all members of the public to take advantage of this wonderful outdoor space, Sheep Pasture is available for individuals to walk, hike, bike, and more for no charge throughout the year. The fees collected through programs, rentals, and fundraising events help make it possible for the NRT to continue the operation of its properties for the benefit of the community.
