Goat grazing proposed for sustainability effort
Oakmont officials plan to use goats to clean up poison ivy and other noxious plants along the Allegheny River.
Phyllis Anderson, assistant to the borough manger, proposed the idea. She said it is a sustainability effort of cleaning up the community without using chemicals or machinery.
There will be a fence installed in the area where the goats will be working to prevent other animals from disturbing them.
Other municipalities, including Mt. Lebanon, have used goats for similar efforts.
More information about the program is expected to be posted at oakmontborough.com.
Line dancing classes at Plum Community Center
Whether you want to brush up on your line-dancing skills or you just want to give it a try, classes are scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursdays at Plum Community Center, 499 Center New Texas Road.
