Goats can clear out poison ivy as well.

decades ago, goats were brought into the hills surrounding LA to munch on the undergrowth That was prolific and areas around those Hills. What the goat actually did was keep the browse down, which provides excellent tender for wildfires. The practice stopped years ago and the wildfires have yet to be suitably controlled. I think it’s time to bring the goat herders in the goats back and let them browse to their hearts content and help mitigate the Wildfire problem that California seems to be having each and every year.
