Conestoga College has embraced an eco-friendly approach to lawn maintenance by using sheep as natural lawn mowers. This initiative, highlighted by Yahoo! News, showcases Conestoga's commitment to sustainability.
Employing sheep to graze on the grounds reduces the need for gas-powered mowers and enriches the soil through natural fertilization. Managed by a local farmer, the sheep provide a low-cost, low-impact lawn care solution. This approach promotes biodiversity, reduces carbon emissions, and offers a practical example of integrating sustainable practices into everyday operations.
Conestoga’s innovative "lamb-scaping" serves as an inspiring model for communities aiming to reduce their ecological impact.
"As part of our ongoing sustainability initiatives, we recognize that this was an area of opportunity for us to re-naturalize this area while looking at some more sustainable methods of landscaping."
