Regenerative Grazing—Regenerative goat grazing in Open Spaces offers a variety of benefits, <br /> including: <br /> 1. Soil Health Improvement: Goats help aerate the soil through their movement and <br /> hooves, which can enhance water infiltration and nutrient cycling. <br /> 2. Biodiversity Promotion: Grazing can create a more diverse plant community by <br /> preventing any one species from dominating, which can support various insects and <br /> wildlife. <br /> 3. Weed Control: Goats are natural browsers and will eat many types of weeds, reducing <br /> the need for chemical herbicides. <br /> 4. Carbon Sequestration: Properly managed grazing can help sequester carbon in the soil, <br /> contributing to climate change mitigation. <br /> 5. Erosion Control: Grazing can help maintain ground cover, reducing soil erosion and <br /> protecting waterways. <br /> 6. Seed Establishment: Native seed mixes can be spread in grazing areas and goats will <br /> work these seeds into the soil as they graze giving them an increased opportunity to <br /> germinate. <br /> 7. Nutrient Cycling: Goat manure acts as a natural fertilizer, enriching the soil and <br /> promoting plant growth. <br /> 8. Sustainable Land Management: Regenerative grazing practices can enhance land <br /> resilience, making it more productive and sustainable over time. <br /> 9. Economic Viability: Goat farming can provide a source of income while promoting <br /> sustainable land use practices. <br /> 10. Community Engagement: Implementing regenerative practices can foster community <br /> involvement and awareness around sustainable agriculture and land management. <br /> it 1 '" r :4 + . fit <br /> a�a <br /> Area 2 2 "" <br /> r Nea079—•.. `.t f <br /> Area 3.285 P %'" <br /> it . srt+s <br /> acres ii1 x <br /> '�r ' Area 2 802 <br /> '`f' �s� o,.It acres .: C. 4.. if' lifia'' .
