Cattle grazing in Shanahan Ridge neighborhood reduces wildfire risk and builds community

Cattle grazing in Boulder's Shanahan Ridge neighborhood, a collaboration between the City of Boulder and The Watershed Center, reduced wildfire risk by targeting high-risk grasslands. The six-day pilot project, managed by five homeowners associations, successfully trimmed grass to 4-6 inches and fostered community engagement, with over 90% of residents supporting future grazing efforts.
