Herder Berit Kiilerich has been running a shepherding farm Lystbækgaard since 1999, and in parallel a small association facilitating activities around the shepherd's practice and crafts. For Berit, tending to sheep, fire-grazing, and practicing traditional shepherd’s crafts are everyday ways of knowing and tending to land. The heathlands and the herder’s practices are threatened to disappear (especially as the landscapes slowly get purchased by big corporations and culturally and systemically, there is a lack of interest in and support for the practice).
