The goats are back in Pullman
The Phoenix Conservancy, a nonprofit based in Pullman, will remove weeds and unwanted foliage at Missouri Flat Creek with the help of goats today through Sunday.
The organization is partnering with Leshay Goat Rentals to maintain the creek area instead of using pesticides and other chemical weed killers.
Volunteers are invited to help with the project. They can meet with The Phoenix Conservancy team and may even have a chance to feed baby goats in the process.
The Phoenix Conservancy deployed nearly 70 goats in May at Pullman’s Conservation Park.
