Parks and People Foundation is hiring a herd of goats to clear some brush out of Druid Hill Park. A company called Eco-Goats from Davidsonville, Md., which specializes in environmentally friendly vegetation control, will provide the 40-goat herd to Parks and People for three days to clear invasive species and overgrown vegetation from the Auchentoroly Terrace area of the park. The goats arrive on Oct. 8 and will remain in the park for approximately three days.

The Eco Goats get around-earlier this year they cleared vegetation at a historic farm in Anne Arundel County and a grave site in Gibson Island.

When are the goats going to be there, and can we go watch?

I don't know if they're watchable, since they will be behind some electric net fencing and they're going to be in part of the park that's all but inaccessible due to overgrowth. But they should be there starting today.
