900 reasons to love wildfire prevention!
The Ventura Ave Goat Grazing Project is in full swing, clearing over 300 acres of dry brush along the hillsides to keep our community safe. This incredible effort was made possible through a vital CAL FIRE grant received by the Ventura Regional Fire Safe Council.
We were incredibly honored to be one of the partnering ranches in this important project! The featured herd of 900 goats and sheep spent the last week at the Wicked Wire Ranch—co-owned by Kat Merrick, Executive Director of Totally Local VC, and the proud home of Totally Local VC and The Local Love Project
Partners like Ventura Regional Fire Safe Council and dedicated ranches prove that community-led safety takes a village (and a very hungry herd).
Special thanks to ABC7 for covering the story.
