Biotech company Bayer, recently launched a unique two week long green initiative. The company brought 1, 450 sheep to its Richmond California to graze on the 17 acres of grass there. The sheep are managed by Living Systems Land Mangement. The sheep are expected to eat around 115,000 pounds of vegitation during their stay. The sheep will help reduce the chance of fire and encourage native plants to grow. THe razing animals also reduce the need to mow the grass, which will cut out gas powered lawn mowers and other landscaping tools as well as pesticides and herbicides.
