City's Parks Division Hires Goats to Manage Vegetation

Paul Steinbach Headshot

The Madison (Wis.) Parks Division has a new tool for removing invasive plants in two of its parks this spring and summer: goats.

As reported by Wisconsin Public Radio, about 40 adult and young adolescent goats from a nearby farm will be periodically put out to graze in the parks this spring and fall, with timing dependent on weather conditions, analysis of existing vegetation and management goals. It's part of a trial program to manage invasive species and promote the establishment of native vegetation in the city's parks.
