Columbus Recreation and Parks is taking an innovative, eco-friendly approach to invasive plant removal—with goats! These natural landscapers from Goats on the Go will help clear invasive plants by doing what they do best—eating!
Join us for a special Meet the Goats event on Friday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to noon at Antrim Park by the lake.
This is your only chance to see and pet a few of these hardworking goats before they return later this spring behind protective fencing. Plus, stick around for a rainbow trout stocking by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to meet our newest environmental stewards!
