How a herd of goats is helping protect the city of San Francisco from wildfires.
San Francisco is a city known for its fine dining, and this spring, even the land itself is on the menu.
Genevieve Church, the executive director of City Grazing and the self-described"most glorified goatherd on the planet," told CBS News that her non-profit takes a herd of 128 goats all over San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area to limit the fire hazard. City Grazing runs the goat grazing program and coordinates with local groups.
"The students get to come out here and see this, and it's a really tangible example of what we do and why we do it," Pollon said."It's a really circular ecology. The goats eat the grass and they digest the grass, and their waste is really great for the soil, which helps with erosion. So over the long term, instead of slowly degrading the land, we're regenerating the land.
While the goats love to see what the kids might provide, they won't actually eat everything that is handed to them.
