Goat grazing is one of the easiest ways to address the overgrowth that can lead to fires, as goats can eat weeds and a range of invasive brush that other animals cannot, Genevieve Church, executive director of nonprofit City Grazing, told Axios.The goats finished up at June Jordan School for Equity in the Excelsior last month and are currently at Thurgood Marshall Academic High School, which shares its land with Willie L. Brown Jr. Middle School in the Bayview, Church said.
Meanwhile, goat grazing is an economical and environmentally friendly option to manage the land, a spokesperson for San Francisco Unified School District told Axios via email.State of play:In addition to SFUSD, City Grazing works with a number of agencies and companies throughout San Francisco, including the city's public utilities commission, parks department, trash servicer Recology and the University of San Francisco.
The goal is to "inspire kids to work sustainability into their thought processes, in everything," Church said. "It's key to us continuing as a species."During the pandemic, City Grazing inadvertently helped to create public gathering spaces around goat grazing, Church said. "Watching goats eat is incredibly soothing when you're watching the world fall apart and can't really go anywhere," she said.
