Blackacre Conservancy | State Nature Preserve & Historic Homestead

Three little girl lambs were born on a cold, snowy Valentine’s Day at Blackacre State Nature Preserve and Historic Homestead.

The new arrivals need names! To raise funds for the care and feeding of mom and three babies, Blackacre is hosting a virtual baby shower!

With every $10 donation, you can enter a name for one of the lambs. Simply click on the the link below and add name where it asks for special instructions or drop off your donation and name suggestion in the green box located in the barn.

Our goal is to raise $750 to help seed our meadow, provide fencing to protect the farm animals and nutritional supplement.

Join us on Facebook Live March 14th at 11:00 a.m. we will have a virtual shower where we will announce their names.

Thank you for your love and support of Blackacre!
