Description by Tennessee Viking
July 1st, 2008 - A herd of Angora sheep were lead up to Jane Bald in order to start the Baa-tany Project. The multi-group program is a continuation of a previous project where goats are being used to help keep the Roan Balds open.
The project was organized by the Tennessee Eastman Hiking Club, Friends of Roan Mountain, the Old Timers, Southern Appalchian Highlands Conservancy, ATC, Forest Service, Park Service, and other volunteers.

None so far...They will be on the Roan Balds, in between Jane Bald and Grassy Ridge split, until the first cold weather munching away on the grasses and berry bushes.
