In addition to their weed-eating services, goats possess a
keen ability to kick start conversations about conservation, engage students,
and to attract volunteers to projects and places they visit. Since the summer
of 2013, our goats have participated in farm-based summer camp at the Arcadia
Center for Sustainable Food and Agriculture, where they offer children the
opportunity to discuss the products and services provided by livestock,
identify invasive vegetation, and spend time with the animals. In conjunction
with DC Greens and the Growing Green Teachers programming, the goats also
participate in educational visits to DC Public Schools during spring and fall
months.
For more information on educational visits, please contactus.
