Goats emit less co2 than “controlled burns”, and mixed species mature forests don’t have the undergrowth problem commercial cutting cycles entail


Forests in the US especially on the west coast evolved alongside fire, and burning is how many species propagate in these ecosystems.


Let me know when you have a goat that will eat thousands of pounds of fallen trees.

No offense, but it's fairly clear you have never stepped in the forests that this is a problem. It's not yearly grass. It's 50 years of buildup. You make a 12ft high and 30ft wide pile of this stuff then please tell me about goats.

From experience, had a bone fire that lasted three days before it was out.... Goats...

Along the same lines, you have an excellent wolf feeding solution, now to find the problem it solves!


First eagles, now goats as a device to get out of an awkward plot dead-end.


With respect to the west coast of the united states this is an absurd proposal.
