Extra “Pasture Pals” Sessions Coming This Fall : More Fun with Our Furry Friends!

SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – Due to popular demand, VINE is 
thrilled to announce that our “Pasture Pals” program is back with brand 
new Saturday sessions! If your family couldn’t make it during the 
summer, now’s your chance to join the fun. Starting September 14 through 
October 5, come hang out with us every Saturday morning from 10:00 AM to 
noon.
 
Pasture Pals is a fun, hands-on humane education program designed for 
kids. Each session, led by a local elementary school teacher, offers a 
unique lesson focused on empathy, volunteerism, environmental awareness, 
and learning to celebrate differences. And because we keep things fresh 
with different activities each time, your little ones are welcome to 
join as many sessions as they’d like! 
 
After the lesson, the real magic begins as kids get to meet our animal 
residents. There will be easy (and fun!) chores like refilling water 
troughs and sharing donated fruits and veggies with the animals. It’s a 
special opportunity for kids to connect with nature and our sanctuary 
friends. 
 
Important Reminders: 
 
Closed-toe shoes are a must. 
 
Please, no food. Our goats may be sweethearts, but trust us, they’re 
also sneaky snack thieves! (You don’t want to find out how fast they can 
swipe a granola bar!) 
 
No need to register – just show up and be ready for a day of learning 
and fun! A parent or guardian must accompany all kids, and we recommend 
arriving on time so you don’t miss out on the essential instructions and 
gate entry at 10:00 AM.
