NorthStar Moving Teams Up with Hungry Goats to Protect Homes from Wildfires

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2014 — As Californians brace for a heightened wildfire season, and May, National Moving Month, kicks off the busy moving season, NorthStar Moving ® Company, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, and Environment Land Management (ELM) and their goats have teamed up to protect from fire damage the millions moving into new homes.

This unique partnership rolls out the grassy welcome mat to the herd as the boxes are being unpacked, checking off the most important to-do on the move-in list: protecting what’s under your roof. ELM will deliver a herd of as many hundreds of goats needed to eat away at large sections of dry grass, weeds, and thistles as well as any added services necessary to take care of anything that is flammable.

“Goats are clean, quiet and the eco-friendly option for land-clearing efforts. Areas cleared or thinned by goats recover naturally and resist wildfires, protecting lives and properties,” said Johnny Gonzales of Environment Land Management. “That’s why we are thrilled to team up with NorthStar Moving as both of our busy seasons kick-off. It is the ideal timing to ensure homeowners are safeguarding their new homes from the threat of wildfires.”

“Which would you rather have in your yard? Heavy equipment or the peaceful grazing of goats?” said Laura McHolm, NorthStar Moving co-founder & chief of organized living. “I know what I would prefer. The added bonus is the goats are not only an effective option but they are the green solution to brown, overgrown and flammable brush. Unfortunately, this year, as a result of our horrible draught, there has already been more than double the average number of wildfires in California. We want to ensure that when our clients are moving into their new homes, they don’t just settle into their new lives but also fully protect their families by removing flammable brush. And, what’s a more fun way to do it? Channel your inner Heidi!”

This new package has garnered a nickname and can be requested individually or combined with any of NorthStar Moving’s luxury services to address a customer’s specific moving needs:

The Billy Goat – Have you heard this old fairytale? Once upon a time, there were three Billy Goats Gruff who wanted to cross a bridge guarded by an angry troll. Today, the angry troll has been replaced by an equally threatening evil – wild California brush fires. And once again, the Billy Goats have devised an ingenious plan to conquer evil. Yep, they’ll gobble it up! These Billy Goats use their huge appetites for good: clearing grass, brush, and weeds to protect homes on California hillsides from those nasty wildfires. Why not let these crusader goats eat your snarly wild dried brush? And, like every fairytale, there’s a happy ending. Hurrah! No need to hear angry trolls, crackling fires and fire trucks. Instead, you might even hear the sweet sounds of goat bells and find yourself yodeling.
