The city isn’t kidding around with a new vegetation removal pilot program at Anderson Park. A herd of goats and sheep will be chomping down on grass in northwest Fort Worth for the next few days.
The Park and Recreation Department teamed up with Breckenridge-based GoatScaping to cut grass in hard-to-reach areas. The goats — which will be hanging out at 5052 Cromwell Marine Creek Rd. for the next day or two — can clear steep terrain that leads to a drainage area that traditional mowers can’t reach.
The 2.09-acre test area between Waterloo Lane and Packwater Court has garnered some attention from residents who requested an extension in order for neighborhood children to see the animals.
Can’t take the livestock out of Cowtown — the farm animal-based initiative also falls into the city’s “So Safe, So Clean, So Green” 2024 budget priorities as a sustainable maintenance method.
