Being Green

You may mistake their mission statement for a quote from the A-Team, but the Goat Army Africa is a very real herd of goats that is being used to clear alien vegetation like Port Jackson and wattle. It is the brainchild of Pieter Bosman and Ronnie Visser, and the 'unit' is currently on an operation to munch its way through alien plants at Cape St Francis in the Eastern Cape. In this week's edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Pieter about the army and how this way of destroying alien plant species works.
