Lebanon Hills Goat Browsing

​​Goats will be used to control invasive species in the parks this year. Between March and November, a herd of about 70 goats will be rotating between Lebanon Hills Retreat Center and Whitetail Woods Regional Park.

When the goats are present, a temporary electrified fence will be installed to keep them contained. ​

Goats e​​at undesirable plants

The goats will eat undesirable plants. Once they eat the vegetation within their fenced in area, they will be moved to a new area. Guests should not feed the goats.

Goats have access to fresh water, or it is provided to them w​hen needed.

Don't distra​ct the goats

Please enjoy the goats from a distance and do not attempt to feed or pet them. They're working hard, so please don't distract them.
