Eastern Dutchess farm country hands the herd classic reclamation work. Dover Plains properties typically fight:
Multiflora Rose
Retired pasture in the Harlem Valley vanishes under it in a decade. Goats reclaim it
Autumn Olive
Colonizes old fields fast. Goats defoliate and bark-strip established shrubs
Japanese Barberry
Dense stands at every wood line, tick habitat included. A goat specialty
Bush Honeysuckle
Early leaf-out shades out natives. Goats browse it hard all season
Also on the menu: honeysuckle, phragmites, barberry, wineberry, and mile-a-minute vine. Full list on the services page.
