GRAZING WITH A PURPOSE

-

A goat does its part to reduce fire fuels Sunday in Lower Bidwell Park west of Highway 99 and north of Big Chico Creek. A press release from the city in the summer said some trails may be closed and encouraged members of the public not to feed the goats or dogs. The goats, which are being supplied by Capra Environmen­tal Services Corporatio­n, can graze up to one acre per day and will be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by a herdsman, guard dogs and an electric fence.
