🧣 Winter Clearing Season is Here!

🐐 That’s right! Our hungry herds don’t take a break, even in the thick of winter. From November through February, we’ll be hard at work tackling one of the toughest invasives in North Texas: Privet.

🗓️ If your property is completely consumed by privet, now is the time to schedule. Our ruminants provide an eco-friendly, quiet, and chemical-free solution to reclaim your land and restore healthy green spaces.

❄️ We’re scheduling winter projects now. Reach out today and let us walk you through all the benefits of using goats to clear privet!

Bleat & Greet at Valley View Park

This past Saturday (9/27), we brought out some of our star players for the Bleat & Greet at Valley View Park. In just a week or two, our full herd will be on-site to tackle the understory clearing of 12.5 acres in the park.

A huge thank you to , , and - Dallas, Texas for trusting our hungry goats to get the job done the natural way!
Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing updates as the herd gets to work!

👏🏽 Big thanks to The Warner Group for their continued support in hiring us for their clearing needs!

🏡 Construction has just begun on a beautiful new neighborhood, Kings Crossing. One of the biggest challenges for developments is maintaining retention ponds, especially when they’re designed to stay natural.

🌿🐐 That’s where our goats come in. They clear just enough vegetation to keep the area safe and healthy, without causing erosion.

💚 We’re proud to help developers maintain their natural spaces while keeping communities sustainable and green.

🤩 A huge thank you to for hiring us for this project!

🌿🐐 Check out these amazing before-and-after photos of the hard work our goats put in:

🌉 Bridge Clearing – The goats cleared under two bridges, allowing the stream to run freely without being choked by vegetation. Keeping waterways clear is critical to preventing flooding.

Trail Safety – By clearing back vegetation along the trail, bikers and walkers now have clear sightlines of nearly 100 feet into the forest, creating a greater sense of safety for everyone.

🌱 Invasive Species Removal – On the left, you’ll see where the goats cleared young privet, while the right shows the area before. Privet is an invasive plant that must be removed in its early stages to stop it from spreading and overtaking native habitat.

We’re proud to partner with organizations like The Loop Dallas to create healthier, safer, and more sustainable spaces!

What a great project and partnership with Arlington Parks and Recreation! Check it out!

Arlington Water Utilities recently hired Open Space TX to bring in 460 goats to clear dense and invasive vegetation along the steep, rocky bank of the lake side of the Lake Arlington Dam

🌿Why Clearing Vegetation from Riparian Areas Matters

🌿Thick vegetation in the riparian zone of a dam can block critical access for inspections, compromise structural integrity, and restrict water flow. Removing invasive brush helps protect the dam, reduce erosion, and improve safety, especially during heavy rain events.

🌿Check out the before and after photos from Lake Arlington Dam! The transformation not only opened up visibility and access but also supports long-term maintenance and flood mitigation goals. Using targeted grazing, we are able to clear steep, rocky terrain in a way that’s safe, sustainable, and cost-effective.

Let’s Talk Goats Over Lunch! 🌿🐐

We’re now booking Fall Lunch & Learn sessions with our targeted grazing experts!

If your city, HOA, utility district, or development team is interested in learning how goats can help with vegetation management, fire mitigation, trail clearing, and more we’d love to bring the conversation (and lunch!) to you.

Our team will walk you through the benefits of using ruminants for eco-friendly land clearing, real project success stories, and how we tailor our services to meet your specific site needs.

Spots are limited this fall — message us or email aflock@openspacetx.com to schedule your session today!

Let’s clear the path to a greener future — one bite at a time. 🌿🐐

What a successful few weeks it’s been in McKinney! 🐐🌿

Our hardworking herd cleared 36 acres of hike and bike trails, tackled tough-to-reach areas, (safely) devoured poison ivy, and helped restore vital waterways—all while bringing smiles to hundreds of faces along the way.

A huge thank you to the City of McKinney for welcoming us into your community. We’re proud to support your commitment to sustainability and can’t wait for future opportunities to work together again!

This is what it looks like when 600 momma goats and their babies move into a community! 🐐🌿

Vegetation removal at its finest—and a week full of “on-the-job training” for the babies.

A big thank you to the Light Farms Community in Celina for letting us call your neighborhood home for the week. We cleared 18 acres in the most sustainable way possible, and we’re grateful for your support. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
