Fayston commission considers goat grazing pilot for Boyce Hill; cost estimate cited
Summary
Commission discussed a pilot to use goats to manage areas at Boyce Hill that can't be mowed; the minutes recorded an estimated cost of $1,000 per acre per day and noted funding limitations make a small pilot appropriate.
The Fayston Conservation Commission discussed using goats to manage vegetation on steep or unmowable parcels at Boyce Hill as a pilot project.
Minutes record an estimated cost of $1,000 per acre per day for goats. Commissioners said limited funds mean the idea should be approached as a small, test pilot rather than a full-scale management strategy.
No vendor, insurance, or permitting details were provided in the minutes; the record only notes the cost estimate and a willingness to consider a pilot if funding can be identified.
