RALEIGH, N.C.—Coastal Credit Union has partnered with Triangle-based Goats on the Go to bring a grazing herd to its Raleigh headquarters for two weeks to clear brush, vines, weeds and invasive plants.
The targeted-grazing project offers a low-impact alternative to using heavy machinery or herbicides in areas that can be difficult to reach with conventional equipment. Coastal said the initiative supports its commitments to sustainability, innovation and community impact.
“It’s not every day you come to work and see a herd of goats outside your office,” said Jennifer Gallagher, Coastal’s VP of Support Services and Branch Expansion. “While they'll be hard at work clearing vegetation, we're excited about the way this project brings people together to create a memorable employee experience and support our commitment to community impact.” Employees will also participate in educational activities and fundraising efforts benefiting the Coastal Credit Union Foundation.
