Join us on Sunday, April 26th at 9am at Sycamore Grove Park for a hike into the upper property to see the cattle grazing pilot program that began Spring 2026.

LARPD staff and grazing experts will share how cattle help manage vegetation, support healthy ecosystems, and our team's plan to mitigate any trail impact caused by the cows.

You'll also learn practical tips for safely hiking on trails shared with grazing animals. Come curious, and leave with a better understanding of how grazing benefits the park—and your outdoor experience.

Hike will be roughly 3.25 miles round trip, moderate difficulty up and downhill. Start will be at the Wetmore Road Entrance to Cattail Pond and back.

If weather and trail conditions do not allow for an enjoyable hike to the upper property, we will hold a sit-down talk at the Wetmore Amphitheater instead.
