🐐🐑 Hungry, hardworking, and helping protect communities from wildfire.

In Southern California, one landowner is putting 900 goats and sheep to work using funding from a CAL FIRE Wildfire Prevention Grant. These four-legged helpers graze on vegetation that can fuel wildfires, helping reduce hazardous fuel loads and lower wildfire risk.

As this #ABC7 story highlights, targeted grazing can benefit not only the land but the entire surrounding community. The grant was secured with support from the landowner’s local Fire Safe Council, showing how community partnerships can turn wildfire prevention into action.
