Prescriptive Grazing (Herbivory) Services

This contract authorizes the use of targeted grazing with livestock such as goats and sheep to reduce fine fuels in ecologically sensitive areas, primarily to mitigate wildfire risk while preserving native vegetation and habitat integrity. The service is classified under NAICS code 112410, indicating it falls within the livestock production sector, and is structured as a subcontract under the Fish and Wildlife Region 1 - Northern Region, based in California. The work is specifically designated for performance in the 96044 zip code area, which encompasses parts of Northern California known for high fire risk and fragile ecosystems. The initiative prioritizes ecological restoration by using herbivores as a non-chemical, low-impact method to manage vegetation, thereby reducing the accumulation of combustible materials without disturbing soil structure or native plant communities. The contract was posted on July 10, 2026, and operates under a prescriptive framework, meaning grazing schedules, animal density, timing, and duration are carefully calibrated to align with seasonal growth patterns and wildlife conservation goals.
