Goats are highly effective at controlling invasive and unmanaged vegetation in areas where machinery is unsafe or inefficient:

• Steep or rocky terrain unsafe for machinery

• Invasive woody plants (briars, privet, honeysuckle)

• Buffer zones and rights-of-way

• Areas where herbicides are dangerous or undesirable

They are used to:

• Reduce dense brush and woody invasives

• Manage steep slopes and hard-to-access terrain

• Clear rights-of-way, buffer zones, and overgrowth

• Minimize soil disturbance during vegetation removal

Goats form the foundation of our land management system.

Pigs are used selectively and only on appropriate sites to provide short-duration biological soil disturbance after vegetation has been removed.

Pigs add value where controlled soil disturbance improves recovery:

• Break up compacted or degraded soils

• Disrupt invasive root-dominated sites after grazing

• Incorporate organic matter into the soil

• Work best on flat or gently rolling rural land

• Prepare sites for reseeding or recovery

Bees support the recovery and regeneration phase of managed land by improving pollination and plant diversity.

• Regenerating landscapes with flowering recovery

• Support flowering plant growth

• Strengthen biodiversity after grazing phase

• Long-term ecosystem support

Apiaries complement grazing by helping landscapes recover into more resilient, self-sustaining systems.
