Forget ‘Love Island.’ Tennessee Has an Isle of Goats.

The article highlights an unusual eco-grazing project in Tennessee, where a group of goats have been deployed to a small island to clear overgrowth. Unlike typical eco-grazing projects, these goats have to travel by boat to reach their worksite, an "Isle of Goats" located in the middle of a lake. The project aims to utilize the goats' natural browsing habits to manage the vegetation on the island, which has become overgrown. The goats are transported to the island by boat, where they spend their days clearing the land of unwanted plants and shrubs. This unconventional approach to eco-grazing has garnered attention, as it demonstrates the versatility and effectiveness of using goats to manage environmental challenges, even in remote or hard-to-access areas. The article highlights the unique logistics involved in this project and the benefits it provides in terms of sustainable land management and environmental conservation.
