flag Vermont ski resorts use 150 goats and sheep to clear 25 acres of slopes, cutting emissions and erosion.

flag Vermont ski resorts, including Jay Peak, are using a herd of about 150 goats and sheep to clear overgrown vegetation on 25 acres of ski slopes over a five-week period, replacing gas-powered mowers. flag The animals, monitored via GPS-enabled geofence collars that guide them and track health, help reduce carbon emissions, prevent erosion, and improve water retention. flag The initiative, led by Cloud Brook Grazing, is part of a broader push for sustainable land management and could serve as a model for other ski areas.
