The goal is to return the area to native prairie grassland without the use of chemical pesticides or herbicides.

The goats will be in the park until Sunday and will be back in July for another round of weed control.

A portable electric fence is used to contain the animals and move their grazing area each day.

This is the third year Wascana Centre has used the goats to control weeds and other invasive species.
