Goats clear buckthorn from southeast Minnesota blufflands.
Goats are brought into Whitewater State Park to clear buckthorn and other invasive shrubs. The southeast Minnesota park’s dramatic blufflands were called “goat prairies” in settlement days because goats were the only livestock that could climb the steep slopes.
