Sustainable neighborhood: Goats maintain the green areas at the WIEGEL Feuchtwangen plant

Right next to the WIEGEL Feuchtwangen plant, around 20 goats live and naturally maintain the green spaces. The animals do not belong to WIEGEL, but they are loyal “neighbors” who visibly enrich the site’s surroundings.

Their presence brings many benefits:

• Greater biodiversity: Grazing creates a natural habitat for plants and insects.
• Resource-friendly: Meadow maintenance without fuel, machinery, or additional energy use.
• A lively environment: A green setting that benefits both employees and visitors.

A special sight can be seen when the goats attentively watch the activities next door – for example, when a forklift passes by. These animal encounters give the Feuchtwangen site its own unique character and make sustainability tangible in everyday life.
