While it is hard to prove a negative (the library hasn’t burned because of the goats), the goats certainly helped! About 500 of them!! Here at Two Bucks Ranch, we are still aiming for 30-40 goats next year for our 37 acres. (All the does should now be pregnant and we expect 10-12 new kids in March).
Here’s a link to the article about goats and the Reagan library: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/31/goats-save-ronald-reagan-library-wildfire
While on the topic of fire resistance (and resilience), Michael Wara from Stanford said this according to “The Guardian: “this crisis, and much-needed climate adaptation as a whole, could be an opportunity for a kind of California Green New Deal for economic investment in the state’s infrastructure. Through a package of home hardening, vegetation management and microgrid backup for blackouts – so that they don’t continue to disproportionately impact low-income people – California could turn PG&E’s crisis into a public climate adaptation project.”
I think he is right on. All three are doable. Let’s get started. There’s no out-running climate change.
