New Boardwalk Exhibit


 We have a wonderful new way to exhibit our White-tailed Deer and Spanish Goat herds.  Visitors can now use a boardwalk to get much closer to the animals on display.


At the end of the boardwalk, there is a large covered area for shade and seating.


Our deer herd was a little nervous about this new addition to their yard.  It took them a few weeks to be comfortable around the structure and the noise of the people on it.  They are back to their old routine of randomly eating and grazing, but visitors are now much closer to them.


The deer food makes the wild turkeys very happy.


 We also added one of our Spanish Goat herds to the right side of the savannah.  They have been very active in their new area, and they love the new grass.  We will not need a lawn mower!


Our female herd is currently on display.  Last week, they began having babies!  We now have 4 babies from 3 mothers.


This was our first baby's first day on exhibit.  Our male herd is still on our pond exhibit with our mute swans.
