The streets of West Sacramento are once again echoing with the bleats of eco-friendly weed whackers. The #WestSacGoats have made their anticipated springtime comeback, venturing through the Bridge District and embarking on a vegetation-clearing spree set to last till the start of July. The City of West Sacramento in a recent announcement, highlighted the reappearance of these natural grazers.
Seizing the role of organic lawn mowers, the goat herds are targeting areas where machines fear to tread - or mow. The Barge Canal banks, Clarksburg Branch Line Trail, and spots along the river near the Tower Bridge are on their itinerary. Their mission, aside from keeping the lawns trim, is aiding the West Sacramento Fire Department and Parks and Grounds Division in preempting wildfire risks by munching through dry weeds and brush, according to the City of West Sacramento statement.
For those intrigued by the prospect of goatscaping, there's a nifty way to keep tabs on these roving ruminants. The City of West Sacramento has provided the residents with a digital "goat tracker" so they can spot the current munching grounds of these furry landscapers. The City encourages locals to follow their journey at wsac.
