Goatbusters: Goats take on Long Island’s invasive plants

Fourteen goats are munching their way through a major problem on Long Island—literally! The new “Goatbusters” project is using goats to clear out poison ivy and English ivy that threaten native oak trees. Locals are loving this eco-friendly, entertaining approach, with people stopping by just to watch the goats at work. The plan is to let the goats graze for two years, then replant with native species to help pollinators. Plus, there’s talk of goat-themed fundraisers and products to support conservation. Would you try goats for your own yard? #Pets #Goatbusters #LongIsland
