SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) The goats are back!
The Converse Heights Neighborhood Association has brought a herd of goats back to Crystal Springs Ravine with the help of the Trees Coalition to continue its mission of rehabilitating the neighborhood green space.
“We’ve got about 40 in there this time because we’ve got a much wider area for them to roam around in. They did such a good job the first time,” said Wesley Hammond, a member of the Converse Heights Neighborhood Association board.
The goats began their work on the ravine in the spring of 2020 in the section along Crystal Drive, going back to their home farm for the winter. This summer, the goats will graze in sections along Woodburn Road and Sherwood Circle.
