Texas is trying a smart and green way to fight invasive plants near White Rock Lake in Dallas. Instead of noisy machines, the city brought in 300 goats to eat away dense shrubs like privet on 11 acres of public land. The goats started grazing on a Thursday and stayed for about 10 days. They moved through fenced sections, clearing one area before moving to the next. Goats love woody plants and shrubs, unlike machines that struggle with uneven land and thick undergrowth. This clean method avoids disturbing soil, stops pollution from fuel engines, and keeps noise low. Invasive shrubs like privet block sunlight and hurt other plants and animals by taking over. Clearing these helps nature recover and keeps soil healthy. The goat crew was managed carefully by handlers throughout the project, which cost about $15,000, cheaper than machines in delicate areas. Besides clearing plants, goats lower fire risks by eating dry vegetation and fertilize soil naturally. They also reduce waste since no plant debris needs hauling away. Officials warn goats aren't a one-time fix; follow-up steps include planting native plants and possibly more grazing later. Known as goatscaping, this method is catching on in Texas and other US states for parks, wildfire zones, and utility areas. While the idea got laughs online, city leaders say it’s a growing trend toward earth-friendly land care.
