PPH quotes Berg in column about controlling invasive species

Lois Berg Stack, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension specialist and ornamental horticulture professor, was cited in a Portland Press Herald column about combating invasive species without using chemicals.

“You have to pick your battles,” Stack said. “You don’t take on a project that you know you are going to lose.”

Goats are an ecologically friendly way to control invasive species and weeds, said Stack. They’re easy to tend and move from area to area.
