Organization Name
Allegheny GoatScape
 
About Us
Allegheny GoatScape’s mission is to reduce invasive and unwanted vegetation in public spaces and vacant lots, utilizing goats for browsing. This is to be accomplished by partnering with organizations, land owners and managers to bring the goat tribe to designated properties and allow them to eat the vegetation until they have completed their project. Giving goats access to intentional properties removes vegetation in an eco-friendly and efficient manner, setting the stage for additional land management and restoration. Allegheny GoatScape will also promote goat husbandry, education and resources access for those interested in raising goats in the Pittsburgh Region.
We Participate Because
Allegheny GoatScape's goat herd wants to be good neighbors, removing unwanted vegetation in parks and neighborhoods in Pittsburgh and beyond. Mitigating invasive plants will provide new opportunities to those who want to use the land - to realize new opportunities for proactive community development on vacant lots and restoration in natural areas.
