A herd of hundreds of goats gather and graze on fire-prone brush on a hillside next to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library as part of Ventura County wildfire prevention efforts on June 15, 2023 in Simi Valley, California. The environmentally friendly tactic reduces the potential for wildfires with goats consuming combustible dry grass and brush, along with non-native plants, in fire-prone areas.
