Are America's wild horses the answer to wildfires? - a photo essay
One man is on a mission to promote the grazing habits of feral herds as a way to stop extreme blazes from starting and spreading.
Since moving to a remote mountain region just south of Interstate 5 on the Oregon-California border in 2014, William Simpson, 70, has assumed responsibility for the care of 120 wild horses that roam his land. He has also adopted 60 more as part of an effort to study the effect that grazing has on managing grass, brush and other fuel for wildfires in the face of increasingly extreme blazes.
He calls the project the Wild Horse Fire Brigade, and hopes the discoveries he makes from living among the animals will contribute to the debate around the role herbivores can play in wildfire mitigation.

Bill Simpson, 70, is creating a one-of-a-kind pilot program in the remote mountains by the Oregon/California border. Since moving to the area with his wife six years ago, he has taken over care of the 120 wild horses roaming his land. He has added 60 wild horses, all in an effort to study the impacts grazing has on managing grass, brush and other wildfire fuel in the face of increasingly extreme wildfires.

In 2018, the Klamathon fire tore through Siskiyou County, where Simspon’s ranch is located. The fire scorched 38,000 acres before it was contained. Simpson’s ranch, and immediate surroundings, remained largely undamaged. Simpson credits the wild horses.
