The Continuing Saga of the Goats of Rockwood Park

Just to remind you of their mission: Stone Barns Center and Rockefeller State Park Preserve have joined together in the Rockwood Hall Goat Project for invasive-species management. Stone Barns Center goats are helping to control chocolate vine, porcelain berry, multiflora rose, wineberry, and other harmful invasive species that are eroding out native species at Rockwood Hall.
