Mequon began goat landscaping back in June 2020 in the Pukaite Woods. For the last couple summers, the goats visit the woods and graze on the land, removing invasive honeysuckle and buckthorn.
Goats eat buckthorn, help environment
A herd of goats is strengthening the environment for the second year in a row.
MEQUON, Wis. - If you’ve taken a recent stroll in Rotary Park, you may have seen some goats in Pukaite Woods.
Don’t worry, they’re there for a good reason.
This herd is strengthening the environment for the second year in a row.
Connie Pukaite grew up on a farm and is an active member of the Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary Club. For me and my fellow Rotarians, they love seeing people come to watch the goats, she said.
