After their wool has kept them warm all winter long, the sheep at @dorsetpeaksheepco are getting sheared just in time for warmer weather.

Swipe to see the process!

Before: Fluffy and ready for their spring transformation.
During: The shearing team hard at work.
After: A fresh, sleek flock—ready for the warmer months.

You’ll see them back in the fields at Smokey House Center soon!

Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting @redfoxcommunityschool for a special field trip focused on their year-long study of animals. The students were eager to visit our Beaver Pond to learn more about the amazing creatures that call it home.

We walked the pond in search of signs that beavers live and work there, and we found plenty! From downed trees to a dam and lodge, the evidence was clear. The students even discovered a beaver footprint in the mud, which we were able to cast for further study.

We were so impressed with how engaged and knowledgeable the students were, even teaching Smokey House Center staff a few new things along the way! Thanks for visiting, Red Fox Community School—it’s always a joy to have such curious, bright minds exploring the natural world with us. 🦫
