Regional Parks uses grazing, along with other vegetation management techniques to reduce fire fuels in its parks.
Grazing not only reduces fire risk, but also keeps grasslands and ecosystems healthy. Sheep, goats and cows help keep invasive species in check, protecting habitats so that native wildflowers, butterflies, birds and other wildlife can thrive.
Regional Parks expects to host sheep and goats at the following parks in 2025: Laguna de Santa Rosa, Foothill Regional Park, Helen Putnam Park, Cloverdale River Park, Maxwell Farms and Gualala Point Regional Park. In addition, Ragle Ranch Regional Park will host its first sheep and goat grazing this summer.
The Parks Foundation welcomes contributions from individual donors so that Regional Parks can continue to grow its fire preparedness and grazing efforts. You can sponsor a sheep for $100 for a month of grazing.
