Next time you’re picnicking in Lenexa’s Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park, you might spot some goats having lunch there as well. While park officials see honeysuckle and callery pear as a problem, goats see them as a delicious feast. The city of Lenexa is about to use a small herd of goats for a grazing project to get rid of unwanted plants that harm water quality in streams. It hired Goats on the Go, a company that provides goats for just such needs. The 25 to 30 goats will start grazing on 2.5 acres at the park in late August or early September. The contract costs the city $1,362.50, less than the cost of other methods, officials say.
