Sheep May Safely Graze

By John Walters on Monday, July 23, 2001.

Dick Henry of Concord, is the founder of Bellwether Solutions. With Public Service of New Hampshire, he's working on a pilot program that puts flocks of sheep to work controlling vegetation under power lines. If successful, the project could be a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to mechanical mowing. It may also prove useful in controlling other invasive plant species, like kudzu.
