Munching sheep replace lawn mowers in Paris

Apart form obvious benefits re encouraging biodiversity, this will be great for "inner city" children in the area to learn more about animals. IMO.
Four little black sheep on Wednesday left the countryside and began their new careers in the city: working as eco-friendly lawn mowers in a largely working-class district in northeastern Paris.
Between April and October, the new "park workers" will graze grounds the size of eight tennis-courts in three two-week-long sweeps in a move to promote biodiversity and make the grooming of the capital's green areas more sustainable -- replacing both chemicals and lawn mowers.
