Goats v. Herbicides

This is a great article from EcoWatch about how goats are being used in California to prevent fires by keeping down weeds.  It's a win-win situation - fire risk is lowered, goats get something good to eat, no herbicides are used, and the land is naturally fertilized.  What's not to love about goats?

EcoGrrl, love it! I also saw a photo of a hillside just outside downtown LA that had goats in it. :)
