Along with prescribed burning\, herbivores can support natural ecosystems by eating blackberries and other invasive-species\, removing fuel loads\, sequestering carbon\, providing disturbance\, and fertilizing. Oak and Orion also enjoy engaging with human friends through events\, school visits\, and public grazing.
