WEED ABATEMENT  Using Goats and Sheep

In California, fire season can be year round.

Working with goats to reduce fuel loads is one method to reduce your fire danger. In hard to reach places, 

goats are especially effective on slopes, between rocks, and around trees.

Fencing
TASK Farms can provide portable electric fencing for controlled gazing based on your site conditions.

Proper clearance to 100 feet dramatically increases the chance of your house surviving a wildfire.

This defensible space also provides for firefighter safety when protecting homes during a wildland fire.
