The City awarded a contract to Fire Grazers, Inc., at the February 10, 2026, City Council Meeting to perform fire safety weed abatement work using goats throughout the City. For additional information on the City’s fire safety weed abatement activities, please visit the City’s Fire Safety Weed Abatement webpage.

What to Expect:

• Temporary electric fencing will be installed around designated grazing areas.
• A herd of goats will be onsite for several days to a few weeks, depending on vegetation density.
• Livestock guardian dogs may be present and are trained to protect the herd—not interact with the public.
• The goats will naturally clear dry brush, grasses, and invasive plant species that contribute to wildfire risk.

Safety & Guidelines:

• Please do not feed, touch, or approach the goats.
• Keep a safe distance from fencing and equipment.
• Dogs must be kept on leash and away from grazing areas.
• Please respect all posted signage and barriers.

Benefits of Goat Grazing:

• Reduces fire fuel loads in high-risk areas
• Minimizes the need for chemical herbicides
• Improves soil health and biodiversity
• Provides a quiet, low-impact alternative to mechanical clearing

Schedule & Locations:
Goat Grazing will occur in the following areas as shown on the map below. 

Dates are subject to change based on weather and site conditions. Updates will be posted on the City website for any changes.
