Goats in San Francisco: From Traffic Blockers to Wildfire Protectors

TL;DR Summary
A non-profit organization called City Grazing is using a herd of 128 goats to prevent wildfires in San Francisco by grazing on the lush grass that can become dry and brown in the summer, turning into fuel for wildfires. The goats also serve an educational purpose, teaching students about sustainability and regenerating the land. The program is coordinated with local groups and has been successful in limiting the fire hazard.
