The City of Minneapolis is considering an unusual weapon in the the war against buckthorn.
The Minneapolis Park Board is thinking about using a herd of goats to keep grass trimmed and invasive species like buckthorn at bay. Minneapolis Park Board Commissioner Brad Bourn proposed the idea. Bourn says you can rent a herd of goats for two dollars an hour and they can clear an acre of buckthorn in a matter of days.
Other cities like Cleveland have used goats to get id of buckthorn. The park board still has to vote on the idea.
