The Goats Are Back in Town
The goats that keep hillside brush under control are back in town after a five-month hiatus.
Last October, the goats were relocated to Perris, Calif., since lack of rainfall stunted the growth of vegetation. December rains have greened the hillsides and a 110-goat herd has returned to graze above Allview Terrace in North Laguna and will continue to move south towards the area behind the Festival of Arts’ grounds.
City Manager John Pietig cautions that the fire threat remains high despite recent rains.
