Description

The Town of Erie would like to begin utilizing goat grazing as another tool for IPM applications. Goat grazing can provide an alternative method for noxious weed suppression, fire fuels reduction, and soil health improvement. Goat grazing operations can also reduce herbicide and fossil fuel usage, as well as provide further education to the public on alternative methods for vegetation management. The Town of Erie is seeking a contractor that can provide these services on Town-owned open space property.
