"This year's roster of ruminant athletes includes returning favorites like Romeo (a total snugglebug) and Mallomar (quiet but mighty) as well as flashy newcomer Butterball."
"Why goats? These four-legged landscapers are crucial. They excel at chewing down hard-to-reach invasive species, enhancing the park's ecology while providing entertainment."
The Riverside Park Conservancy is hosting the first-ever goat eating contest, The Great Goat Graze-Off, featuring five goats competing to eat invasive plants. Set for July 12, the event will be hosted by George Shea and promises brass band fanfare, photo opportunities, and a highlight of the goats' eco-friendly work in the park. Known for their effectiveness in landscaping and transforming difficult areas into green spaces, these goats represent a unique blend of environmental stewardship and community entertainment.
