This summer, a herd of goats will begin clearing overgrown invasive brush, specifically Buckthorn, from several vacant lots located next to Ramona Park in Flint’s historic Metawanenee Hills neighborhood. This project is an innovative and environmentally friendly way to create access to this neighborhood green space for everyone. 
In partnership with the community,  we are transforming Stone Street into a vibrant, active, park-like haven for the neighborhood, together!
