[19th session] I went to mowing the goat!
August 22, 2023
Last update date August 22, 2023
Did you know that there are two goats in Genkaida Park? The two males named "Gen" and "Kai" are 6 years old males who are kept to eat grass in the park. This is an environmentally friendly weeding method that does not use a mower and does not generate CO2. In addition, steep slopes that are difficult for humans to mow, it is fine if they are going.
With the cooperation of the designated manager of Genkaida Park, "Green and Community Group", "Gen" and "Kai" came to eat the grass of "Mori nodai Rainwater Reservoir" near the ward office. So, on Thursday, August 17, the first day, I went to see you immediately. Although it was hot, I was healed by the leisurely grass.
On August 19th and 20th, an event to see mowing was held nearby, and local people interacted with the two heads. We want to spread weeding by goats that are environmentally friendly and heals the heart.
