Goats honored for ridding New York City park of invasive weed

Massey the Goat is joined by 2nd-place winner Chalupa at a ceremony in Manhattan's Riverside Park on Friday, August 2, 2019. Two goats have been recognized for their efforts to remove an invasive species of plant from Riverside Park in Manhattan. The goats were introduced into the 60-acre park to eat the invasive species that was plaguing its gardens, avoiding the need to use harmful herbicides. They've turned the weed into fertilizer for the other plants in the park. Massey the Goat was crowned with 1st prize, followed in 2nd place by Chalupa the Goat. [Photo: IC]
