Trivia: Which Farm Animals Have a Special Job in Oakland?
Weekly Trivia
Which farm animals have a special job on Northeastern’s Oakland campus?
Cows
Chickens
Donkeys
Goats
Answer
The job: eating. Every summer, hundreds of
goats
are deployed on the edges of the Oakland campus to chow down on overgrown trees, brush and weeds (even poison oak!). Unlike industrial lawn mowers and hedge trimmers, goats don’t run on gasoline, so it's an environmentally-friendly way to clean up campus and prevent forest fires.
