Goats and Boats return to encourage cleaning our public parks
Goats And Boats is a popular event hosted by the Muddy River Initiative, Boston Parks And Recreation, and the Red Cross to bring people together to help clean up the parks and wetland along the Muddy River. The goats are part of the entertainment and the boats being volunteers into the water to help clean up. Music, free ice cream, and appreciation of the urban oasis of the Fenway we’re the reward for the volunteers.
