Eco-goats on campus

This homepage ran on Sunday, July 28, 2013. Content and links may have changed.

“Haverford” in Welsh, according to one translation, means “goat crossing.” Last week, we welcomed a herd of those furry, hoofed creatures to campus as a means of keeping invasive plant species under control.

These goats (from Eco-Goat) are a natural, sustainable alternative to herbicide and they are helping to keep our arboretum campus beautiful.

Character

Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
