NEW YORK (Reuters) â Two dozen goats from a farm in a bucolic part of New York state are on a city outing â let loose in Manhattanâs Riverside Park on Wednesday to munch on invasive weeds.
Phones out, spectators crowded around fences and counted down as the hungry black, brown and white goats were herded in a ceremonial âRunning of the Goatsâ to begin their task as natural weed whackers.
âThey chowed down on Japanese knotweed, they noshed on porcelain berry, they snacked on multiflora rose, they easily traversed the hard-to-reach terrain behind me and gulped down poison ivy without even giving it a second thought,â said Dan Garodnick, Riverside Park Conservancy president and CEO.
