A crack team of a roving KoH reporter (Edward Kasinec) and photographers (Hubert Herring and Valerie Wallace) have breaking news on our neighbors in Rockwood Park, the goats. If you have been seeing what you think are large white rocks (until one of them happens to move), you might wonder what has taken over the park. Reporter Edward Kasinec has uncovered the skinny on the hairy:
“The goats and their Pyrenees mountain guard dogs are part of the Stone Barns/Preserve Partnership to remediate and manage invasive species in the Park without the use of herbicides.”
You’ll note that there are movable enclosures around the goats so that they can feast in different areas of the park at different times. Sustainable, thy name is Goat.
Owen, one of the Pyrenees mountain guard dogs, makes sure the goats behave themselves and are safe. Bravo, Owen!
