Speaker Series| Friday Fire Forum: Neighborhood Grazing Cooperatives

Join us for the inaugural Friday Fire Forum — Napa Firewise’s new lunchtime speaker series bringing expert voices to the front lines of wildfire preparedness.

Our first Forum features Sarah Keiser of Wild Oat Hollow, who will walk us through how community grazing cooperatives are helping landowners across Northern California take a hands-on, neighbor-powered approach to vegetation management — using sheep and goats to reduce wildfire fuels naturally and sustainably.

Sarah has guided communities in Sonoma, Yolo, Butte, Solano, and surrounding counties through this collaborative model, and brings deep practical knowledge of what it takes to make it work at the neighborhood level.

About Grazing Cooperatives

Grazing cooperatives are community-based collectives that give private landowners the skills, resources, and peer support to use grazing animals for land stewardship — reducing wildfire fuels while building lasting connections between neighbors.
