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.
