Nash is one of a herd of Angora goats on the Roan Mountain Highlands near the Appalachian Trail which runs across the Highlands along the Tennessee / North Carolina border.
The goats spend the summer on the mountain balds at 5800’- 5900’ in elevation as part of the Baatany Goat project. The 10-year project is designed to determine if the goats can naturally control the spread of the Canadian Blackberry and other invasive plants.
