That first year I visited @dreemsteem i arrived after some recent LARGE forest fires. While I was there, I saw many large burned out parts and some smaller burns. One of the big things I saw, was the forestry services, managing fuels. That means, cutting and removing DEAD growth, to reduce the amount of dead wood to burn. I saw huge truckloads of dead trees being hauled away.
It also meant, they would actively set smaller BACK BURNS, to cut into areas, so that if perhaps lightening strikes started a fire, it would only burn a certain amount before encountering a recent burn and stopping for lack of fuel.
I didn't see goats.
From the materials I read they are being used in California but the goat herds are in demand. They need more of them.
I imagine down lower on the mountain, sure. but up in the Sequoia National Forest, its very difficult to get the goats and our effectively. The HUGE trees are best served by removing deadfall, and any other fuel at their base.
the deadfall the goats wouldn't be able to do but any scrub they can handle. I didn't say they were the only solution. They are one being used and an environmentally effective one.
