STORYLINE:
Munching their way through green spaces in urban environments, sheep and goats are becoming a trendy sight in cities.
Along the Cumberland River just north of downtown Nashville, hundreds of sheep live along the city's greenway.
The Nashville Chew Crew has been helping the city reduce invasive vegetation in areas that doesn't make sense to use mowers and weed eaters.
The use of grazing animals to control vegetation is not a new idea, but some cities and communities consider sheep and goats as one tool to deal with several modern land management problems.
The Nashville Chew Crew are also very popular with residents and tourists alike.
