55-acre Renard Island to host 50 sheep for vegetation management, replacing mechanical mowing.

55-acre Renard Island near Bay Beach Amusement Park is set to host around 50 sheep this summer to help manage its vegetation. The Wooly Green Grazers farm will employ the sheep to graze the island, reducing the need for mechanical mowing. This sustainable method is expected to help control weed seeds and make the island suitable for future recreational activities, such as hiking and picnicking.
