NEW YORK: Two dozen goats from a farm in the extraordinary part of the state of New York are at a city sightseeing – Release in Riverside Park Manhattan on Wednesday to chew invasive weeds.
The cellphone came out, the audience gathered around the fence and was calculated when hungry black, chocolate and white goats were led by the ‘Run Goat’ ceremony to start their duties as a natural Weed Whacker.
“They hit Japanese knotweed, they were noshed in Porcelain Berry, they were snacking in Multiflora Rose, they easily crossed the terrain that was difficult to reach behind me and swallow poison ivy even without giving him a second thought,” said and Garodnick, “said and Garodnick,” Riverside Park Conservancy President and CEO.
“Puting them to work in ‘Goatham’ like treating them with the buffet all-you-can-eat.
It’s healthy for goats and it’s good for the environment.
It’s agriculture to the table.” Using a goat to remove invasive species at Riverside Park is a Win-Win which is environmentally friendly – goats up to brushes overgrown with brushes and Riverside Park Conservancy does not need to use chemicals to remove weeds.
Of the 24 goats, five will call Riverside Park’s house until the end of August, eat through two hectares of parks.
The public can choose one between buckles, Chalupa, Mallemar, Ms.
Bo Peep and Skittles, to be crowned the largest of all time.
Winners will be announced at the end of summer.
“Above how cute they are, they can not only eat a lot of weight, but they will really neutralize the seeds so they will not replant next year,” said Jordon Martins-Cihanek, his owner’s son) Green Goats Farm in Rhinebeck.
“And you know they will work longer than the landscape.” (Reporting by Roselle Chen; Editing by Karishma Singh and Rosalba O’Brien)
