The city of Ann Arbor is taking an all-natural approach to poison ivy control.

DOUGLASS COUNTY, Ga. Weve all had moments where weve left a door open and a bird or bug decides it would rather enjoy the luxury of the indoors. For a goat in Georgia, a Douglass County Sheriffs cruiser with the door open proved far too tempting in the hot Georgia sun. According to authorities, a deputy was delivering civil papers when she found the goat had entered her patrol vehicle. The Douglas County Sheriffs Office posted the video on its official Facebook page. The Douglass County Sheriffs Office said the deputy typically leaves her car doors open because shes had to retreat from dogs on several occasions.

ANN ARBOR Dont be alarmed if you see several goats grazing in Gallup Park over the next few weeks. Goats eat pretty much every green plant in sight, including invasive species like buckthorn and honeysuckle and even poison ivy -- dont worry, theyre not allergic. After last years successful pilot project, the goats from Twin Willow Ranch of Milan were brought back on Thursday to clear out invasive shrubbery and overgrowth. This is a great way to help promote native plants in our parks while, at the same time, decreasing the hours we spend on removing invasive brush," Parks and Recreation Maintenance Services Deputy Manager Scott Spooner said in a statement last season. Everything would have to be removed by cutting and pulling, and the goats enable us to use that labor in other ways."
