Chiba University is continuing its 'goat grazing for weeding' project, known as an eco-friendly weeding method, in the green space on the east side of the Nishi-Chiba campus. Since April 24th, four male kid goats have been welcomed for a planned six-month period. This green space is the planned site for the 'Nishi-Chiba Well-being Research Park.' When tested last year, the goats were well-received by students, faculty, and local residents. In addition to reducing environmental impact, the university is continuing this activity for its healing effect on daily life.
