More urban communities are using sheep to graze in urban landscapes and people love it.

Nashville 's parks department hired the Chew Crew to help maintain Fort Negley , a Civil War-era Union fortification.

Santa Barbara , California , has been using grazing sheep for about seven years as one way to manage land buffers.

City Sheep and Goat in Colbert , Georgia , has sheep grazing on mostly residential properties and community projects.

The sheep need to be moved regularly because they tire of the same plants and relocating reduces the chances of a predator attack.

The city of Santa Barbara does environment surveys before bringing in grazers since it can also affect bird habitats.
