On 5 September 2018 Appleton Post-Crescent (Wisconsin, US) reported: Goats eat just about anything, and 1000 Islands Environmental Center (Kaukauna, Wisconsin) is taking advantage of that. In late September, 1000 Islands will begin a two-week trial ... using about five goats to combat invasive plant species that are hurting the biodiversity of the environmental center.
