Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

This truism of gregarious species is both drive and motive of the stadtschnuggen project. It makes little sense to bring sheep into the city on your own. The following list of links encourages further networking and may lead to new resources. The list is updated as new links are promoted in the stadtschnuggen blog.

 

These are successful urban farming projects with sheep or goats in cities of Switzerland:

Rumpelhalde keeps sheep in a paddock in Zurich during summer

Naturpflege GmbH grazes sheep and goats in urban green spaces in and around Basel

Verein Stadtgeiss keeps goats in a city parc area in Zurich

Quartierhof Wynegg keeps a flock of sheep in Zurich

Pro Specie Rara promotes and protects rare breeds

Zalp shares information such as on vacancies for shepherds in the Swiss Alps

Spycher-Handwerk offers everything for wool craft

WWOOF makes it easier to plan working holidays on sheep farms

SSDS (Swiss Sheep Dog Society) trains herding dogs
