Watch: Prospect Park Goats Return To Tackle Weeds

A group of goats is back in Prospect Park's Vale of Cashmere, chowing down on ivy and goutweed.

PROSPECT PARK, BROOKLYN — The goats of Prospect Park are back on the job, happily eating away at invasive English ivy and goutweed that sprung up after Hurricane Sandy.

Patch visited the four goats, which came down from a farm in upstate New York, on Friday afternoon as they began what will be a long summer of work in the Vale of Cashmere and Lookout Hill.

You can read more about their work here. Check out a live video from the scene below:
