Goats help beautify impenetrable stretch of Clemson forest

Thorny and poisonous plants that occupied two valued acres of Clemson University real estate has been swept from its stronghold.  The credit goes to goats and human beings who worked together in a coalition.  Clemson now considers a once-impenetrable stretch of forest to be beautiful again.  Faculty, students and tailgaters frequent its borders.  For a third year, a herd of hungry goats came to Clemson to devour tangles of kudzu and other invasive plants that have plagued the campus for decades.  To finish what the goats started, undergraduate students Jay Deason and Griff Dorn work in brutal summer heat from the start of July until mid-August.
