In Marin County, where steep hills and hard-to-access terrain are common, goats are an ideal tool for reducing fire load fuels. They naturally graze on a wide range of vegetation, including fire-prone brush and shrubs, even on challenging terrain. Their grazing minimally disturbs the soil, promotes the growth of fire-resistant plants, and creates natural firebreaks. Using goats is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, reducing the need for chemical treatments and fossil fuels, while providing continuous vegetation management to maintain lower fuel loads and mitigate wildfire risks.
Natural Grazing: Goats consume a variety of fire-prone vegetation, including brush and shrubs.
Terrain Accessibility: They can navigate steep, rocky, and dense areas where machinery cannot reach.
Minimal Soil Disturbance: Their grazing has a low impact on soil structure and promotes fire-resistant plant growth.
Cost-Effective: Using goats is often cheaper than mechanical clearing or chemical treatments.
Eco-Friendly: Goats reduce the need for herbicides and fossil fuels, providing a sustainable vegetation management solution.
