Description
Nash Island is home to a small population of sheep, descendants of a flock tended over a century ago. In the early 1900s, a lighthouse keeper’s family lived on a neighboring island, and his daughter, Jenny, was responsible for caring for the sheep. Today, the island is uninhabited by humans.
