In 2012, a herd of 40 goats were brought to the Habitat Conservation Area to help control caragana. Over the last four decades the caragana has expanded dramatically in the Habitat Conservation Area into the grassland ecosystem around it. The two photos below illustrate how the caragana has spread since the 1970s to 2006. The goats proved over the course of the four days of grazing that they were very effective at targeting caragana and are a useful tool to manage this shrub in the Habitat Conservation Area.

In 2022, 2023, and 2024 between 100-200 goats were unleashed onto Wascana Centre
