Mijas puts firefighting sheep to work

MIJAS continues with its campaign for landowners to allow sheep to graze on their plots thus reducing the risk of fire.

Almost 1,000 local sheep have been hard at work on a 55,000 square metre plot in the Camino de Coin area over the last few days and agricultural councillor Antonio Sanchez Peña popped along to see how they were getting on.

Sanchez stressed that herds of sheep are the easiest and most environmentally friendly way to reduce fire risk for landowners, and invited those that have not already joined the project to do so.
