Send in the Cows

摘要

The sight of invasive plant species overgrowing and eventually overwhelming native plants and animals is not uncommon and is a challenging problem to combat. Such a problem exists at the Freshwater Marsh Nature Preserve within the Brandywine Creek State Park. DNREC's solution: Send in the cows. Their mission: Eliminate the invasive species and restore the marsh. DNREC's Division of Parks and Recreation will be using Belted Galloway cows, on loan from a Delaware farm, in a prescribed grazing operation.
