Episode Details

Goats are back on duty at Austin’s Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, munching down overgrown vegetation and poison ivy to make cleanup safer for humans. These four-legged landscapers, part of a city-wide effort with Rent-A-Ruminant and the parks department, clear tough invasive plants so crews can handle the finer details. Even though poison ivy is native and beneficial to wildlife, it’s a hazard for workers — goats create a safe window for human intervention. You can even sponsor a goat through the “Adopt A Goat” program for just $25/month or $250. Just don’t pet them — they carry poison ivy oils on their fur. Watch from afar as these furry heroes keep trails clean and safe for everyone.
