Goats at Work Grazing Project at White Butte Trails Recreation Site
Saturday, June 10, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Sask Parks will welcome more than 250 goats to White Butte Trails Recreation Site June 7-16 to help target graze invasive vegetation and help restore the native grassland habitat. These hungry goats will help protect the ecosystem by taking a bite out of invasive leafy spurge. To keep them safe, they will be joined by two herding dogs, one livestock guardian dog and two shepherds. Residents are encouraged to join Park Interpreters as they share information about the goats and invasive species.
Visitors can find the goats at Southwest Entrance (Secondary Entrance) of the trail. Find directions here. Please note: Visitors must keep a safe distance from the electrical fence and keep dogs on-leash.
Wascana Trails Rendezvous at Wascana Trails Recreation Site

Enjoy a community-focused day of trail activities hiking, cycling, trail running, and nature. Visitors can also take part in the official launch of the new adaptive Wildflower Trail.
