Sheep on the Quad

At UC Davis a landscape architecture professor, Haven Kiers, has an ongoing project to bring sheep to the heart of campus in springtime to mow the lawns and to educate people about the benefits of this form of landscape management.. This project is called the UC Davis Sheepmowers, and has been underway since 2021.

These past three days the sheep have been in an enclosure on the main campus quad. They are always well-received by the student and campus community. I went on a walk this morning to do a few sheep sketches, as seen at left.
