They are here. According to Parks Facilities Supervisor, Dan Greeley, 400 Goats arrived this Wednesday morning at GOGP and they are hungry.
On Thursday, September 13th, you can stop by the park at 6:30 PM for a special Meet the Herder event!
Here is an ‘update’ posting from Dan Greeley, PRNS-City of San Jose:
A question came to Dan by Valley Water folks- “All, last year we utilized Star Creek Land Stewards and were very happy with their services. We intend to use them again next year in select locations [in their stewardship areas]”
Response from Dan-
PRNS is using Star Creek as well. We hope to confirm dates for next week [starting September 10th]. It is a challenge to schedule animals as they do not stick to a schedule that very. We were to have them last week but they were that hungry at the previous job.
We are hoping to clear about 5 acres in the park and then follow this effort up with planting native acorns in the cleared area.

Sheep in Guadalupe park? Why not let the Sheep graze in J.Fontana Park and T.J. Martin Park, maybe they will help improve the park since the city is having such a difficult time with maintenance. The sheep might help fill up the holes with?? and smooth out the humps, and chew on the weeds!
