In Auckland, we have many parks. These city parks are rented out to farmers who graze their sheep and cows. The city council gets a rental, and the animals "mow" the difficult terraine, the city slickers take their children to see the animals. It is a win-win situation.
The only drawback is you got to be careful where you step. You could step on a cow pat or on sheep pellets.
My students went to Mangere Volcanic Mountian last week. They like it except for the cow pats. Kids are kids, they don't watch where they walk.
What a simply wonderful idea! To have a lovely park, treat the animals and to have the grass cropped at the same time. But I do agree about the cow pats!
ReplyDeleteIn christchurch the same We have a quarry park around the corner with sheep
ReplyDeleteBringing the animals to the parks is a great idea - bet the meat tastes better with a grass fed cow.

ReplyDeleteI can identify with this. When I was principal at Salt Creek Primary School, sheep were used to 'mow' the grass from time to time.

A fresh cowpat will keep your bare feet from freezing on a cold and frosty morning ha ha.. It does work , but city children wound not know anything about that. Nice post.
