Just thought you all might like to know that our M-T Sunrise Rotary Demonstration Project with goats-on-buckthorn has made an environmental impact beyond our own Mequon Rotary Park.
Christine Bohn forwarded two recent news stories (below) noting that out use of goats is being used to convince Milwaukee County to consider using goats in their Park System; and we have also been told the Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewage District has budgeted money to use goats on invasive species in a number of that agency's properties throughout the watershed and District after observing the work of our goats in the Woods at Rotary Park.
As a Club, we should be feeling pretty good about our partnership with Ozaukee Washington Land Trust, the City of Mequon and our quiet-but-relentless environmental leadership in management of invasive plant species. And soon, we'll launch our efforts to promote Operation Pollination as well. Great work!!
