They will be back
If you ran into a herd of 150 goats at Lady Bird Lake in the last week, you haven’t lost your marbles. Austin’s beloved trail goats were back for one week of poison ivy pulverization. And just like that, they’re gone again, but they’ll be back for a longer tour of the trail in August., with a herd that underwent special training on respecting fence lines, staying together, and keeping focused.
This week, the herd visited the southeast end of the Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at Longhorn Shores, ending their work May 9. They had a lot to do. Rain this year resulted in more greenery, including poison ivy growth. In 2023, the herd munched along the trail for 10 weeks and was able to clear more than 15.4 acres of poison ivy, Thomas said. After the goats left last year, the nonprofit brought in the Texas Conservation Corps to help manage the remaining vine stems left behind. Then a wave of volunteers swept through to replant the area.has been Austin’s independent news source for over 40 years, expressing the community’s political and environmental concerns and supporting its active cultural scene.
