 Hello everyone!

I am in the process of creating a 20-acre bee sanctuary with native plants.
Two years ago, we piloted the project and planted 4-acre. The first year we
had a drought and little showed up and last year there was tons of rain and
things were blooming.

I was advised to mow 3 times a year to keep the non-native grasses that had
been there for decades at bay.

We hired someone to mow for us but it was expensive and carbon heavy. My
friend has offered to let sheeps do the work and im wondering if anyone has
utlitzed animals for ecological restoration. If so, please share your
experience and lessons learned.

Thank you,

Sabrina
