In 2024, our hard-working goats were assigned a new job site at West 143rd Street, where they munched on poison ivy and other invasive plants as part of our popular Goatham program. Please stay tuned for more information on the goats’ return in 2025!
The goats’ new location at the West 143rd Street slope aligns with the Conservancy’s North Park Initiative, which focuses on bringing more resources, maintenance, and programming to the uptown sections of the Park. In order to ensure all neighbors can enjoy quality parkland, the Conservancy has made strides to address the years of neglect and disinvestment in these areas, efforts which include the addition of new public programming at the natural shoreline at 145th Street and new outdoor exercise equipment at 151st Street in partnership with Outletics.
