This time the city is Mississauga, but it is right next to Toronto. This is all part of the same desire to control invasive plants in an ecofriendly way.
Goats will munch their way through the problem plants and be happy doing it. When they are done the soil will be more fertile. The native plants will come back up stronger than ever.

We are finally catching on to using natural means to take care of natural problems. The process is known as prescribed grazing.
I think we should come up with a catchier name than that. The goats take care of a lot of problem plants. They don't pollute the air or the soil. They don't contribute to global warming. The same goats can come back as often as needed. They need a minimum of supervision. It is totally an everyone wins situation.
Let us hope it catches on and more and more places use goats for plant control.
