Sheep hired to "mow" grass on Lake Michigan island
(CBS DETROIT) - A flock of sheep, and not a lawn mowing service, have been hired to maintain a Lake Michigan island. Officials hired the sheep to graze the grass on Renard Island, a 55-acre manmade island in Green Bay, Wisconsin.A permanent causeway connects the island to the mainland, and a locked gate at the shore end of the causeway limits certain vehicles from accessing the island, according to a document from Brown County officials on the Renard Island Vegetation Control Project. Due to this, vegetation often becomes thick, tall and overgrown. So, a flock of sheep from Wooly Green Gazers was hired to graze the island to manage the vegetation. Renard Island isn't open to the public, but the Port of Green Bay says people can try to catch a glimpse of the island's newest residents from a ride at the Bay Beach Amusement Park.
