RFTA Weed Mitigation

The goats are part of RFTA’s Integrated Weed Management Plan for the Rio Grande Trail corridor!
For the third year in a row, RFTA has contracted with Goat Green, LLC to graze 450 goats through the lower 20 miles of the railroad corridor. Lani Malmberg with Goat Green has been professionally grazing goats for 20 years. Goat Green will manage the goats using electric fencing and Border collies. RFTA is trying to shift the paradigm away from spraying toxic and harmful herbicides and instead utilize goats to graze and build soil health.
