Christmas Trees for the Goats

The goats invite you to bring your UNTREATED Christmas tree to the Sanctuary on Sunday, January 4th. They think your tree will be delicious!

Check with your tree vendor to ensure that the trees have not been treated or sprayed, and remove all foreign objects before donating. Sign up for a time, drop off at the Pavilion, and if you'd like, stop into the barn to visit the goats and enjoy a little hot cider and cookies as a thank you from the residents.
