Heritage Livestock

(Click on the image for more information)
Animals are part of the Accokeek Foundation’s stewardship of Piscataway Park. Many visitors appreciate the beauty of the farm animals without realizing their important role in farming systems. Over the centuries, domesticated animals have lived here with humans and have contributed to shaping this land as we see it today. At the Accokeek Foundation, we care for our farm animals in a way that enhances the health and stability of the natural and agricultural ecosystems of this special place.
