BART employs grazing goats to create firebreaks on right-of-way property Jan Canaday/Courtesy BART is using grazing goats to create firebreaks in its right-of-way property. This will remove dry vegetation and act as an alternative to prescribed burns or herbicides. For Bill Stewart, a forestry and cooperative extension specialist at UC Berkeley, finding massive herds of goats chomping on dry vegetation in Berkeley has been a regular occurrence for the last 40 years. According to Stewart, it is not unusual to see 200 grazing goats near the Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve or Tilden Park.
