Animal impact is a naturally occuring interraction in nature. It’s simply the affect animals have on the landscape as they go about their daily lives. A lyrebird scratching for insects, dung beetles burrowing, or a wallaby grazing.  We simply take the natural behaviours of goats and direct them in a targeted way to produce outcomes for the landholder.

Some advantages of using goats for environmental works:

• Goats are quiet

• Love eating weeds over many other plant species like grasses

• Sterilise weed seed as it passes through their digestive system

• Create litter (natural mulch)

• reduce fuel load

• take out fire ladders

• safe fire hazard reduction

• Move gently in the landscape with minimal disturbance to the insects and animals already living in the target area

• Goats work in difficult to access areas

• gentle soil disturbance but low compaction

• Goats don't like getting their feet wet, making them excellent for management of riparian zones (creeks and streams)

• When managed appropriately goats can improve soils, benefiting the ecosystem from the ground up

• Goats are nice to be around
