A
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
welcome
to
West
Street
beautiful
high
park.
This
is
an
exciting
day.
We
have
goats
showing
us
in
hyde
park
today,
and
this
is
a
direct
result
of
amazing
community
party.
Urban
wilds
are,
as
you
know,
properties
that
Boston
parks
owns.
Some
of
them
are
very
accessible
and
some
are
not
because
of
the
basis
species
such
as
poison
ivy,
as
is
rampant
throughout
this
property.
B
The
first
step
is
that
the
goats
spend
all
summer
here
eating
a
half
an
acre
at
a
time
and
then
Paul
Sutton
in
the
youth
will
go
into
the
site
and
look
at
it
and
begin
developing
a
restoration
plan.
So
team's
been
awesome
and
where
they're
the
heroes
in
this
story,
they're
gonna
be
continuing
to
do
restoration.
That's.
