WATCH: Ewe-nique Collab: City Parks & Rec and Fire Join Forces with Sheep to Preserve Defensible Space

Authored on

A herd of 275 sheep is set to graze approximately 25 acres across five parks ahead of wildfire season. The project, led by the City Parks and Recreation Department, in collaboration with the Fire Department, aims to maintain defensible space between homes and parkland by removing overgrown grasses and brush from the park properties. This work is intended to reduce the risk of wildfire spreading, protect infrastructure, and to provide safe access routes for firefighting if needed.
