We're striking out across the country in search of hope, talking with everyday Americans finding innovative, often unconventional ways to build resilience, build community, build hope. Whether designing a town for the homeless, cleaning up boatloads of trash in the bayou, bringing folks out of incarceration and addiction, transforming coal mines into farmlands, or saving the planet to save our lives, these people remind us that we too can make a difference in our own unique way. I'm Kate Tucker, and HOPE is my middle name.

Fighting Wildfires with 5,000 Rescue Goats

Terri Oyarzun can’t imagine life without goats. She grew up with goats, she met her husband out herding goats, and together they rescued 55 “Charlie Brown” goats and trained them to fight wildfires. Today, the 5,000 strong Goats R Us herd works with government agencies, universities, and communities to find innovative solutions for fire control and prevention, while advancing animal husbandry and livestock management in California’s increasingly challenging climate. “Fire season is twelve months out of the year now. The goats are protecting people. They're the four-legged firefighters of California.” Get ready for a fun and insightful conversation on goats–what we can learn from their many wonderful quirks and how they are helping us build a more resilient ecosystem.
