Goat vs machine – Grays Lily

Ken — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:54:13 +0000

Here is a quick 4 minute video with Jamey Donaldson, Research Biologists and Manager of the Baa-tany Goat Project.

You will learn one advantage the goats have over the machine in restoring the grassy balds of Roan Mountain.

Learn how the goats create an advantage for the rare Grays Lily.

If you would like to be a part of this restoration project, download the Goad Adoption Form.

You can adopt a goat for the 2010 season. You get to name the goat and receive a certificate of adoption and a lock of your goats hair. Pretty cool.

But there are a limited number of goats for adoption. Adopt yours today.

Check it out here: Baa-tany Goat Project Adoption Form.pdf

And I hope to see you on the mountain.
