A friend of mine who lives in San Fransisco lives in a house nearby where a herd of goats has been hired to clear weeds and brush! City grazing rents out their herd to graze on brush and weeds, eliminating the need for fuel-guzzling lawn mowers and toxic herbicides! Not to mention, goats help prevent weeds and secondary growth from returning because they stop seeds form spreading, AND clearing out the brush helps prevent wildfires! Plus, goats are amazing – wouldn’t you rather see a herd of goats happily munching away rather than someone on a lawnmower?

Sustainable land management can be fun.
