GOATS HARD AT WORK AT FREEDOM PARK

Posted

Freedom Park has been raising funds to bring in goats, and their first shift ended this week when they left for the winter. These goats have a job to do – to eat! Goats are a great way to help restore the globally-rare bluff prairie at Freedom Park that has become clogged with overgrowth and invasive plants. When the bluff gets overgrown it is difficult to manage due to the steep and rugged terrain. Goats have no problem on the bluff’s steep decline and love to eat the invasive plants they can reach within their portable fencing. Goats are a preferred solution because they work fast, penetrate toughto- reach areas easily, and are eco-friendly.
