As officials and residents across the country seek out more ecological ways to care for the land, the goats are providing a carbon-free—and surprisingly effective—solution
The landscaping squad of Mocha, Wynonna, Nelson and Beckham yank out weeds at a Texas park. They don't carry chainsaws or use herbicides. They are goats, and this environmentally friendly initiative is, for them, merely lunch.
The hungry goats—who bleat to their master Kyle Carr—are part of a team of 150 ruminants pruning the brush on a 6.5 acre (2.6 hectare) section of San Antonio's sprawling Brackenridge Park Conservancy, in the southwestern US.
And they are part of a growing trend: as officials and residents across the country seek out more ecological ways to care for the land, the goats are providing a carbon-free -- and surprisingly effective—solution.
