Reasons to Reduce Fire Fuel Load with Goats. Goats:

• Goats minimize fire danger and sequester more carbon
• Goats are a cost-efffective way to reduce fire fuels with a comparably small footprint
• Targeted goat grazing significantly reduced undesired plants and increase plant species richness
• Goats reduce fuel loads over large acreages
• Goats reduce fire fuel ladders over large and steep, rocky, remote, or rugged landscapes inaccessible for equipment or hand crews
• Goat grazing improves the soil by enriching microbial communities
• Goat eat trees, brush, and weeds including poison oak, Cheatgrass biomass and cover, and invasive honeysuckle
• Prescribed goat grazing is an ecologically and economically sustainable management tool
• Goat grazing increases soil carbon sequestration, water infiltration and water storage, above and below ground biodiversity and resiliency to climate change
