Loading ...a challenge, as summarized in the review linked below. For more than a decade now,in our retirement years Mrs. Equiz and I have been leading work crews in manual removal of English ivy and Himalayan (Armenian) blackberry on 6 acres of public urban woodland. Browsing of blackberry and ivy tops by goats would help, but the crucial step is to remove the root system of ivy vines and at least the root crown just below ground level of each blackberry stem. This is a labour intensive task, and for success requires repeat efforts in any one location. Goats do not target the below-ground portions of this non-native vine and shrub biomass. My vote is for human removal of English ivy and Armenian blackberry, using whatever cutting and digging tools are most comfortable to your grip.
