Cool Donkey Work in Sóller: Twelve Gray Donkeys Keep the Streambeds Short

Answer

What is the donkey grazing approach used to manage streambeds in Sóller?

In Sóller, twelve Mallorcan donkeys graze vegetation along dry streambeds to mow grass, reeds and young shrubs where heavy machinery can’t reach. This reduces biomass and helps keep the streambeds tidy, with the added benefits of no engine noise, no exhaust, and less dust. The approach is designed to complement mechanical work, not replace it.
