The Texas Botanical Gardens & Native American Interpretive Center, Inc. (TBGNAIC) invites the public to explore one of the most effective-and often misunderstood-tools in land stewardship during The Role of Goats in Central Texas Ecosystems with Dr. Glendon Rhodes on August 15, from 10 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Goldthwaite Pavilion, 1219 Fisher Street, Goldthwaite, Texas.

For centuries, goats have been an important part of Texas agriculture, but their value extends far beyond the pasture.

Today, landowners, wildlife managers, and conservation professionals are increasingly using targeted goat grazing as a practical tool for restoring native habitats, managing invasive vegetation, reducing wildfire fuels, and improving the overall health of Central Texas ecosystems.
