"We wanted to give a peek into our research and the people who share these things with us. That was really special. We gathered and we created this mound together.
"It takes so much time to process all these plants, and ultimately anybody who touches this plant and helps us is involved in our art. This material we processed together in the summer sustained our work all winter."

Herd for Hire: About 300 #Goats Employed to Help #CheyenneWY Clear Overgrown Vegetation
by Alex Hill, Jun 11, 2025
"For over a decade, the City of Cheyenne has employed goat herds to manage overgrown vegetation. This approach has proven both effective and cost-efficient.
"In 2025, the city awarded the vegetation management contract to Goats on the Go, Boulder, a division of Olson Outdoors based in Broomfield, Colorado.
"Lauren Patrie, owner and partner of Goats on the Go, Boulder, explained, 'So we're up here for 25 days. And basically what we do is we just move the goats around wherever there's a need.'
"The primary objective, like every year, is to clear #invasive species and overgrown vegetation obstructing two of Cheyenne’s floodways. These plants not only impede water flow but also disrupt local #ecosystems.
"Patrie further elaborated, 'The city of Cheyenne brought us out here to bring a big herd of about 300 goats to clean up overgrown vegetation and invasive weeds along the greenway.'
"The goats' grazing habits offer several #environmental benefits. Patrie noted, 'Goats are super agile and light on their feet, so less chance of erosion that you might have with heavy equipment.' Additionally, 'We're not using gas-powered or anything that has chemicals, toxic emissions. They're still and aerate the soil. Makes it easier for nutrients and water to absorb into the soil. Healthier for native grasses to regrow. And their digestive process renders the seeds of #InvasivePlants useless so they can no longer grow in the future.' [I did not know this!]
"Despite this decade-long practice, 2025 marked the first time the city hosted a public event to introduce the goats. The 'Meet and Bleat' event featured a petting zoo-style area, allowing citizens to interact closely with the herd. Both the city and Goats on the Go aimed to spotlight the hardworking goats and foster community engagement."

#Florida #WildlifeCorridor linking #StateParks would thwart #development
#LoxaLucie Headwaters Initiative aims to buy #HobeSound land for conservation.
by Timothy O'Hara, Jan. 2, 2026
"At a time when development pressure is pushing north into rural Martin County, conservation groups want to protect a wildlife corridor between two state parks in Hobe Sound.
"The Loxa-Lucie Headwaters Initiative was founded to protect the ecologically important corridor between #AtlanticRidgePreserve State Park and #JonathanDickinson State Park and connect the #LoxahatcheeRiver and #SaintLucie rivers. That would create a preserve for #NativePlants and #wildlife species that would span about 70,000 acres.
"The public owns #Hapatiokee and #PalMar regional parks, but there are thousands of acres of privately owned land in natural conditions that are ripe for development, said Guardians of Martin County Executive Director Greg Braun, whose group is part of the initiative.
" 'If they can connect the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, we should be able to connect Jonathan Dickinson State Park to Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park,' Braun told TCPalm."
