Land management using Goats

A fourth-generation Arizona native, I studied Biology/Ecology at Northern Arizona University, where I developed a deep appreciation for the relationships between landscapes, wildlife, and human communities. I’ve been raising goats since 2015—first gaining hands-on experience working at a goat dairy before building and managing my own herd. Over the years, our work has grown significantly, and we’ve partnered extensively with water utility companies and land managers to address both vegetation challenges and wildfire risk.

One of our primary goals has been to help land managers recognize the remarkable impact goats can have on ecosystem health. By leveraging the natural foraging behaviors and adaptability of goats, we’re able to offer land management solutions that are not only holistic and regenerative, but that also support essential human needs such as clean water, safer communities, and healthier landscapes. This approach blends traditional stewardship with modern ecological understanding, creating results that are practical, sustainable, and grounded in the needs of both the land and the people who depend on it.
