Goats Return To The Historic Railroad Right-Of-Way

The restoration goat herd from Star Creek Land Stewards will be moving to their new grazing spot, along the historic Ocean Shore Railroad Right-Of-Way, arriving tomorrow morning (Saturday) between 9:30AM- 10:00. They will not be running across the road this year, but will be returning to work, and great for viewing over the following days- as they are eating fire fuel, aerating the soil, fertilizing the ground, and encouraging the growth of native plant species. This results in a reduction in wildfire danger, improved soil fertility, and an increase in the diversity of native perennial grasses. This process is also good for the environment, as it doesn't require petroleum products or chemicals of any kind.

This large herd of goats comes from Star Creek Land Stewards works with the Coastside Land Trust and the City of Half Moon Bay as a part of a planned grazing project. Stop by the intersection of Railroad Ave & Poplar St in Half Moon Bay and watch these fuzzy restoration workers return to work.
