Ah, to be a goat surrounded by green, delicious things. Too, too bad that all she really wants to do is stand in my yard or try to steal the chickens' feed - so she has to be tethered here.
It's a bit hard to see the progress, here, given that everything is green but the goats. However, I used long-handled pruning shears and cleared muliflora rose and honeysuckle vine from around the base of that walnut sapling, and extended the open area a couple of yards/meters straight back. A few more days of this, with her eating and me pruning a bit at a time, and I'll be able to walk down to the creek! I cleared this whole area of invasives like bush honeysuckle, autumn olive, and multiflora rose about ten years ago. However, the soil is generally a bit too boggy to mow with the tractor, and it ended up growing back up in bushes almost twice my height. Sigh. I don't want it to be mowed like a lawn, but I also don't want a solid screen of thorny, invasive shrubs too thick for even the bears to move through.
