As part of the Nature and Environment Policy Plan for the Caribbean Netherlands, the Public Entity Saba continues with the removal of roaming goats for its livestock control project. The method to remove roaming goats is through (capturing and) shooting. For this, the Public Entity Saba has appointed a government hunter and several designated hunters to remove roaming goats.

Starting July 6th, shooting will take place in:

• the Well’s Bay and up to the back of Troy Hill. The Ladder Bay area will be added at a later point in time.
  
• the areas of Round Hill, Crispeen, Tara Ground, and part of the Bottom Mountain.

  

• the areas of Johnny’s Ground, the Flat of the Nut Trees, the Schooner Bush, and Banana Gut.
• 
• the Sulphur Mine area.
  

Shooting will take place throughout the week and on weekends.

During this time, the zones will not be closed to the public. Hiking trails in and around this zone will remain open where possible. These include the Middle Island trail, Mary’s Point trail, Crispeen Track, the Bottom Mountain Trail, Tara Ground Trail, the Dancing Place Trail, and the Sulphur Mine trail. Signage will be placed at trail entrances to inform the public.
