What a great project and partnership with Arlington Parks and Recreation! Check it out!

Arlington Water Utilities recently hired Open Space TX to bring in 460 goats to clear dense and invasive vegetation along the steep, rocky bank of the lake side of the Lake Arlington Dam

🌿Why Clearing Vegetation from Riparian Areas Matters

🌿Thick vegetation in the riparian zone of a dam can block critical access for inspections, compromise structural integrity, and restrict water flow. Removing invasive brush helps protect the dam, reduce erosion, and improve safety, especially during heavy rain events.

🌿Check out the before and after photos from Lake Arlington Dam! The transformation not only opened up visibility and access but also supports long-term maintenance and flood mitigation goals. Using targeted grazing, we are able to clear steep, rocky terrain in a way that’s safe, sustainable, and cost-effective.

Let’s Talk Goats Over Lunch! 🌿🐐

We’re now booking Fall Lunch & Learn sessions with our targeted grazing experts!

If your city, HOA, utility district, or development team is interested in learning how goats can help with vegetation management, fire mitigation, trail clearing, and more we’d love to bring the conversation (and lunch!) to you.

Our team will walk you through the benefits of using ruminants for eco-friendly land clearing, real project success stories, and how we tailor our services to meet your specific site needs.

Spots are limited this fall — message us or email aflock@openspacetx.com to schedule your session today!

Let’s clear the path to a greener future — one bite at a time. 🌿🐐

What a successful few weeks it’s been in McKinney! 🐐🌿

Our hardworking herd cleared 36 acres of hike and bike trails, tackled tough-to-reach areas, (safely) devoured poison ivy, and helped restore vital waterways—all while bringing smiles to hundreds of faces along the way.

A huge thank you to the City of McKinney for welcoming us into your community. We’re proud to support your commitment to sustainability and can’t wait for future opportunities to work together again!

This is what it looks like when 600 momma goats and their babies move into a community! 🐐🌿

Vegetation removal at its finest—and a week full of “on-the-job training” for the babies.

A big thank you to the Light Farms Community in Celina for letting us call your neighborhood home for the week. We cleared 18 acres in the most sustainable way possible, and we’re grateful for your support. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

New job, new buffet! The herd arrived last Friday, June 13th at Cross Oaks Ranch in Aubrey. These hungry goats were ready to get to work on their next vegetation clearing project. Stay tuned for updates as they help restore and maintain the land — the natural way!

Last week, we had the privilege of participating in National Trails Day with the City of McKinney, Texas - Unique by Nature! Our goat crew was hard at work clearing vegetation along the trails, helping to maintain safe, beautiful, and environmentally healthy paths for the community to enjoy. Thank you to the City of McKinney for including Open Space TX in this great event and for supporting sustainable land management practices!
