Dorchester Park getting some goats

By adamg on Wed, 08/08/2018 - 10:52am

The Dorchester Reporter alerts caprine fans that some goats will be hoofing it to Dorchester Park, possibly on Friday, to provide some quality artisanal weeding - similar to what goats have done in the Arnold Arboretum and along the Neponset in Hyde Park.

"This program will be the first time since 2015 that goats have been used to clear a Boston park, after initial efforts in Hyde Park proved too expensive. Landscaping by goat grew in popularity to the point where the supplying company raised its rates, and prices tripled."

So prices tripled, but they haven't sold any goat service in Boston since then? They must be doing great business in other cities then, but I haven't read about it...hmmmm.

But it's not technically a city park, even thought the city owns the land.

they’ll actually enforce the leash rules in the park? The “Dogs of Dorchester Park” dog owners show such disrespect to other park-goers as their canines run amuck.
