The University of Mary Washington has initiated a program using goats to help maintain and clear overgrown and invasive plant species on parts of its Fredericksburg campus. The goats eat invasive plants like English ivy and help with limbing up evergreens, improving ground clearance, airflow, and safety. Their droppings also act as natural fertilizer, aiding forest rejuvenation.
