Trees Atlanta and the Chastain Park Conservancy will host “Breakfast with the Sheep” on Friday, June 21, from 9 to 10 a.m. Kudzu will be on the menu for the sheep, who are being brought in again to kick off a summer of invasive-plant-eating around Atlanta. Trees Atlanta has hired a herd of more than 100 hungry sheep to tackle acres of kudzu that grow in Atlanta’s greenspaces, and the herd’s first stop is Chastain Park.
The community is invited to have breakfast with a handful of the sheep (other refreshments besides kudzu will be provided for the humans), feed the sheep, participate in arts and crafts, and learn why invasive plant removal is vital to a healthy urban forest. The presenting sponsor of “Breakfast with the Sheep” is Wells Fargo.
Attendees should gather at the Chastain Park Conservancy, 4001 Powers Ferry Drive. Limited parking available in lot and along the roadway leading to the Conservancy offices. Carpool is encouraged. The event is free, but please RSVP at treesatlanta.org.
