Goats used to clean up River Gardens Park in Sharon

"Do what you'll love, and you'll never work another day in your life."
That phrase couldn't be more true for a group of workers helping to clean up the riverbanks on the Shenango in Sharon.
In fact, the kids work cheap. (get it? kids?)
Allegheny goatscape, a non-profit group from Pittsburgh which provides goats to eat up invasive plants, set up shop at River Gardens Park in Sharon on Wednesday to do what they do best.
"The goats will eat the poison ivy which my volunteers can't pick because it's very dangerous. We don't want to use chemicals to get rid of it because we want it to be as natural as possible so the choice of goats was the most natural thing to do," said Ann U'Halie from the Sharon Beautification Commission.
"The idea for goats came up because of our hillsides. They are hard for people and machinery to go up and down," said Gavin Demming from Allegheny Goatscape.
Not for the goats. There's 11 of them here and for some reason, a donkey?
"We have a donkey because it keeps the K9 away from the goats outside the fence and it keeps the goats together too," added U'Halie.
The goats will eat the bad plants right down to the root so their work of keeping the bad plants out can last up to two years or more.
"We'll be covering 1.3 acres on this side and then it will take them 2 weeks maybe more to clean up the area then we'll go across the street where there's a boat launch area, Budd Street Park. We'll clean up that area as well," said Demming.
They will be in the park for about 4 weeks. Organizers say people are welcome to watch the goats at work but say not to touch or disturb them. They have a job to do.
