South Jersey is home to many local and state parks. One of my favorites is Saddler’s Woods (https://www.saddlerswoods.org). Saddler's Woods is a 25-acre urban forest unique for its diverse ecological features, including old growth forest, young woodlands, meadow, and wetlands. To clear invasive plans such as English ivy, Japanese honeysuckle, and multiflora rose, instead of using pesticides or other chemical solutions, the great folks of Saddler’s Woods brought in goats! Goats also love to eat poison ivy which is good because my husband recently worked as a volunteer to clear brush and, within two days, came home with a full-blown case of it.
Goats are fascinating animals and some of my favorite picture books star goats. Here are two must-reads!
