Fri. June 9, 2023: Lykens Valley Bison Pasture Walk

On Friday, June 9th, Capital RC&D and Lykens Valley Bison hosted a pasture walk at the Lykens Valley Bison farm in Millersburg, PA (Dauphin County). Forty-six individuals participated with representation from three states and 10 counties within Pennsylvania. Discussion focused on infrastructure for large grazing animals, rotation systems, and even touched on the possibility of using grazing for grass management in nesting bird areas. The event wrapped up with a meal prepared by the Lykens Valley Bison food truck, which can be found on weekends at neighboring businesses and festivals throughout central Pennsylvania.  
Thank you to our hosts, Duane and Kim Stroup; our speakers, Titus Martin, Brett Sattazahn, Steve Ludwig, and Breonna Fink; and to all who attended. 
To learn more about Lykens Valley Bison farm, visit their website and to see where you can find their food truck, check out their Facebook page or Instagram.
