Trucked over from Gonzalez's Ranchito Tivo Boer Goats in Chino, the animals are regularly employed across the region to reduce brush for fire prevention.
This year, they were hired for the first time by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy to clear invasive species as part of a multiyear restoration of part of the 99-acre reserve, which is between McCarrell and Barkentine canyons and is accessible only by a steep trail.
