🐐🌿 Save the Goats. Protect Carmichael.
Sometimes the best environmental solutions have four legs.
For years, these hardworking goats have helped care for some of Carmichael’s most treasured natural spaces. As they graze, they remove dry grasses, weeds, and brush that can contribute to wildfire risk—all without fuel, engines, noise, or chemicals.
They’re a simple, sustainable solution that benefits our parks, open spaces, wildlife habitats, and community.
Earlier this year, budget cuts threatened the future of the goat grazing program.
The Carmichael Parks Foundation believed this effort was too valuable to lose.
So we stepped in and invested $21,450 in emergency funding to keep the herd grazing.
Because protecting our environment isn’t always about building something new.
Sometimes it’s about preserving something that’s already working.
Today, the goats continue their work at places like Schweitzer Grove Nature Area, Jensen Botanical Garden, and Sutter-Jensen Community Park—improving habitat health, reducing wildfire fuel, and helping maintain the natural beauty that makes Carmichael special.
Now we’re asking for your help.
By supporting this campaign, you’re helping restore the funds used to save this environmentally friendly program while supporting the future of Carmichael’s parks and open spaces.
