CSFD has partnered with a local grazing company and the Fire Safe Council to help manage vegetation in areas that are difficult to reach with equipment, reducing the buildup of hazardous vegetation near our community. These hard-working goats - along with a few sheep - are helping make our community safer, one bite at a time. If you see the grazing animals working in your area, please remember: • Keep a safe distance • Do not feed or approach the animals • Keep your dogs on a leash
