Goats are Heading to Laguna Honda Area

Tuesday afternoon Goats-R-Us will deliver a herd of goats to SFPUC's Laguna Honda property along 7th Avenue to help trim overgrown and dried vegetation that might otherwise fuel a fire. Of course, a sheepherder will accompany the goats and they will be carefully monitored so as not to munch on any protected foliage. They should be grazing along the hillside for the remainder of the week.

  1. We hope the area will be carefully inspected for birds nesting before the goats are allowed loose. A number of species of birds are still rearing young.

  2. Welcome back to the goats! A great (and green) way to remove the fire danger on the property and the neighboring homes.

    Thanks PUC.

  3. Yes -- the goats are a great and glorious aspect of San Francisco living.

  4. Nesting birds and rare native vegetation have all been taken into account in planning for the goats at this site. Thanks for your comments.
