Lenexa makes an unusual hire to deal with a landscape problem.

The storm water drain in Lenexa’s Sar-Ko-Par Park was teeming with invasive plants. Roughly 60% of the vegetation surrounding the drain was species considered to be threatening to the local ecosystem. Lenexa struck a deal with Goats on the Go KCMO to bring in a herd to tackle the issue. The four-legged eating machines moved across 2.5 acres of rocky terrain and steep slopes mowing through the vegetation. Now, in the wake of the visit, the area lays clear and free of invasive plants. Margaret Chamas of Goats on the Go KCMO oversees the goats and other livestock at Storm Dancer Farm in Smithville, MO. She takes on grazing projects across the Kansas City metro area.
