Saint Paul’s Eco-Friendly Goats
Goats are roaming the Saint Paul riverfront to help maintain and enhance natural habitat
To care for the parkland near the Mississippi River, the City of Saint Paul is introducing grazing goats to select parks. This initiative is a part of a strategic, multi-year approach to manage invasive species along the river. These goats will help reduce overgrowth by eating unwanted vegetation like buckthorn and garlic mustard.
