Palos Verdes Nature Preserve: GOATS!

I thought this article was very odd at first and that is what led to reading it. After I finished reading it I was amazed about God's wonders and how everything is that happens in nature happens for a reason. In this case the goats were placed in a preserve that had been burned in order to gobble up all of the weeds so that native plants can once again sprout and insects which roamed through the field could come back again.
   The article focuses specifically on alternatives that prevent the use of other things that might pollute the environment. It is just basically using what God has provided us and doing so for the best. The goats probably have no idea about what they are doing, all they probably do know is that they are eating as much as possible and can do so in a huge preserve. Nature is working its way and everything is falling into place.
  Although they were once banned from the fields because they would gobble up all of the new grass, goats now have the opportunity to eat as much as they want while increasing diversity and bringing back plants and insects.
   I thought it was funny that there is an actual person that has to stay with the goats and have them eat all the weeds without loosing control. I never thought that there would actually be a job this random but that people actually enjoy.
   The person watching over them has to make sure that there are no predators that can eat the goats, like coyotes. When the goat watcher has to leave he makes sure that the goats are safe and that nothing will happen to them. There is also an electric fence that keeps others from coming in and predators out.
    While nature can cause other things to happen, like fires, it important that things burn and that nature evolves and constantly changes so that there can be new things. In this case, after the fire everyone thought that things were hopeless and that it would take forever to plant things and have actual insects work their magic helping these plants sprout beautifully, but the case is not true.
  I really think that God is great and that everything that is meant to happen actually happens making things much better than they were originally. This article definitely taught me that God works His magic in many many different ways.

Goats graze in a burned area of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. They are clearing out invasive weeds, which will allow the return ot native plant and insect species. (Gary Friedman, Los Angeles Times / March 5, 2011)
