Rumsey Prescribed GrazingYolo County Resource Conservation District is implementing a prescribed grazing project in the Rumsey community along Highway 16 in Capay Valley to reduce fire danger by using goats and sheep to manage invasive grasses and excess biomass in areas with moderate to very high fire severity. The grazing is designed as high-density, short-duration, and rotationally managed across controlled paddocks, creating strategic buffer zones to slow approaching wildfires and protect evacuation routes and community infrastructure. This effort complements other fuel reduction initiatives led by the RCD and local partners, with potential for expansion into additional sites if funding becomes available. A certified Rangeland Manager developed and approved a Rangeland Management Plan to ensure ecological integrity and operational effectiveness. The project includes extensive environmental protections informed by desktop reviews and on-site surveys that identified sensitive resources including blue elderberry shrubs, wetlands, ephemeral drainages, and a great blue heron rookery. Buffers of at least 20 feet are established around elderberry shrubs and riparian areas to prevent disturbance, while grazing activities are scheduled outside the presence of great blue herons. Work is permitted during nesting bird season, but only after a qualified biologist conducts a survey no more than one week prior to operations; if active nests are found, measures compliant with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act are immediately enacted to avoid harm. All activities are carefully timed and monitored to ensure no significant adverse impact on protected species or habitats.
