Governor's Island has hired a fluffy crew to help curb its invasive plant species problem.
This summer, five sheep from Albany, New York, will be living on Governor's Island and grazing in Hammock Grove. The island's gardeners had spent years trying to weed out non-native plants that were preventing future growth, but officials are hopeful that the sheep will be able to complete the task in less time and allow staff to focus on other issues.
Mollie McGinnis, director of operations planning for the Trust for Governors Island, joined Cheddar News to talk about the summer project.
Cheddar News is getting into the spirit of the spooky season. Senior reporter Michelle Castillo spoke with Cameron Lang, general manager of the Color Factory New York, an immersive art museum in Soho that focuses on exhibits of interactive art. Lang explained the displays of seasonal colors, a ball pit along with other fun exhibits.
