We use what nature provides to get rid of what nature provides to much of.
Goats have been used to control undesirable vegetation through out history. They’ve eaten grass, cleared brush on slopes, woodlots and hedge rows long
before brush cutters or herbicides were invented.
In 2007 the National Park Service decided try using goats to remove plants
that were damaging a Civil War Gun Battery at Fort Wadsworth in NYC.
The National Park Service and others have continued to use our goats to
control invasive species like thorn bush. bittersweet, ailanthus and poison ivy
in places that for one reason or another do not lend themselves to economical, or safe removalof unwanted vegetation. Our “Weapons of grass destruction”, as the NY Daily News called them, have devoured problem
plants at Fort Wadsworth, The Vanderbilt Manson, Roosevelt’s Top Cottage and at Wilderstein Historic Site.
When compared to conventional gas powered, methods the cost savings have been in the 50% to 75% range. Additionally goats became an attraction for visitors.
In 2012 goats are being considered for unique areas and opportunities. For example: a two acre sod roof gone
wild, reclaiming a marsh and an entire island.
To enable you to evaluate using goats we have begun a “goat” consulting service. We will help you understand the possibilities, costs, responsibilities and befits of our four legged weed whackers. We can help you evaluate goats or implement a plan anywhere in the United States.
Check out the photos and the very positive media coverage on our web site. We will also be happy to supply references.
