The City Parks and Recreation Department is conducting a pilot project to use goats as mowers; this morning, dirtman interviews Jared Lewis of Living Systems at Neary Lagoon where over 200 goats were munching away on some tall grass and weeds.
I'm glad the city of santa cruz is finally exploring this innovative (and entertaining!) way of managing land. I remember my friend a while back complaining about the pollution and noise caused by mowers hired by the city...this seems like such a perfect solution to that problem.
I am the second grade teacher at your dad's school in forest hills. He shared your wonderful work with me because of the animal rescue work that I am involved in. I was truly fascinated by your efforts. It's so refreshing to see animals in such a beneficial endeavor instead of being exploited. I thank you for enlightening people to the proper treatment and care of all creatures. This is a value I endeavor to instill in my students. Thank you again.
I am the second grade teacher at your father's school in forest hills. Knowing of my love for animals and the rescue work that I do, he knew I would be fascinated by your work. It's wonderful to see animals appreciated as contributing creatures rather than exploited. I've tried always to instill in my students a compassion and respect for all creatures. I hope I've been successful. Thank you for sharing your special venture. Michele Manos
