Hundreds of Goats Graze at Portuguese Bend Reserve
The goats will graze on weeds to help restore fire-damaged land.
Portuguese Bend Reserve will host some important visitors for the next three weeks.
More than 400 goats arrived at the reserve Wednesday to help with a Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy restoration project by grazing on weeds in a 12-acre area. The conservancy hopes to turn what is now a weedy hillside into native coastal sage scrub and grassland habitats.
The goats are located between Peacock Flats and Burma Road trails.
