InSauga reported that a herd of 40 goats will be at Niagara College’s Welland Campus from October 15 to 21 to manage overgrowth behind the Applied Health Institute. The goats will access hard-to-reach areas, including wooded and sloped regions.
The article quotes social media post from the College: “This eco-friendly initiative will reduce motorized equipment use, fuel emissions, and pesticides, creating a more sustainable and accessible outdoor space.”
Bill Rainey, Senior Director of Facilities Management and Campus Safety, is also quoted: “This target grazing initiative is part of a comprehensive management plan to maintain campus grounds in a way that is low-impact and sustainable. Our goal with clearing the area is to create usable and accessible outdoor space.”
