As sure as the black flies arrive every spring, the sheep get rounded up on Allen Island for their semi-annual checkup and shearing. On Saturday, June 8, the Island Institute will once again be organizing a group of hearty volunteer shepherds to go out to the island and spend a day corralling sheep and enjoying an early summer breeze.
The boat leaves both promptly and quite early that morning from Port Clyde and returns by late afternoon. Space is limited and registration is required. Please contact Laurel Ingraham at the Island Institute if you would like to participate: 207-594-9209.
