Abstract:
Botanist and part-time goatherd, Jamey Donaldson, started herding on Roan Mountain in 2008 in an effort to preserve the naturally occurring balds. Balds are treeless areas found on mountains, but due to the absences of goats and other grazing animals, the existence of such balds are threatened by tree growth. Donaldson discusses the importance of preserving balds and his efforts to bring goats back to these areas on Roan Mountain.

Abstract:
Balds are open, grassy mountaintops without trees, and are ideal sites for camping, hiking and hunting. When citizen of North Carolina Glen Tig discovered bulldozing in Stratton Bald, he went to Senator Jesse Helms for help. Further review found that Forest Service biologists incorrectly classified the bald, thereby allowing for bulldozing.
