The goats are back in town

Photographer Kirstie saw the goats Friday on a very steep hillside at the SW corner of Dayton and 185th/Richmond Beach Road. Dave, who was overseeing them, showed her the huge section they'd already eaten down. They didn't mind having a stranger nearby -- they are used to people, Dave said -- and just kept on chewing the weeds.

The goats are from Earthcraft Services. The team of goats will be stationed at various public locations throughout the Shoreline community through October.

Ed Portnow of Earthcraft says, "In the past the animals become part of the community and we greatly appreciate having people keeping an eye out for their safety."

A short three minute video about the service, filmed in Shoreline, is available to view at the Earthcraft Services webpage and Facebook page.
