🐐 A group of goats is going to be hired to help clean up the Houston Arboretum.

About 150 goats are going to be placed in the 2.5-acre area by the wildflower trail beginning on May 4.About 150 goats are going to be placed in the 2.5-acre area near the wildflower trail beginning on May 4 to clear the overgrown grass, according to a news release from the Houston Arboretum.

The goats previously helped the city in May of 2022 when they ate the grass by the 610 parking Loop, and now they will be hard at work at the arboretum for around 10 days. People can stop by to visit them. “We feel like the goats are almost family now,” said Debbie Markey, executive director at the Houston Arboretum. “They have been onsite several times in the last few years to assist with removing overgrown vegetation and invasive plant species. This eco-friendly alternative to commercial mowing and herbicides is working. This time the goats will focus on clearing out the dense understory thicket to create a more diverse and open woodland habitat.
