Sonoma County Utilizes Sheep Grazing to Mitigate Wildfire Risk
In Sonoma County, California, local authorities are employing sheep grazing as a method to reduce wildfire risk. Traditionally, tractors have been used to clear dry brush, a common fire hazard in the region. However, the use of sheep for grazing is gaining popularity as an alternative approach. This method involves allowing sheep to graze on the dry vegetation, effectively reducing the amount of flammable material. The initiative is part of a broader effort to explore sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in fire management.
