How a herd of goats is helping protect San Francisco from wildfires
CBSN
San Francisco is a city known for its fine dining, and this spring, even the land itself is on the menu.
A herd of goats has been let loose on the city's fields and hillsides to chew away at the lush grass that sprouted during an unusually wet winter. In the summer, that grass can become dry and brown, turning into fuel for wildfires.
Genevieve Church, the executive director of City Grazing and the self-described "most glorified goatherd on the planet," told CBS News that her non-profit takes a herd of 128 goats all over San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area to limit the fire hazard. City Grazing runs the goat grazing program and coordinates with local groups.
