Two herds of goats and sheep, totalling 800 head, arrived in Sleepy Hollow in 2018 as part of a unique, collaborative project resulting from the 2016 SHFPD Wildfire Hazard and Wildland Urban Interface Area Assessment, which identified key locations for fuel reduction to reduce the impact of wildfires in Sleepy Hollow and neighboring communities. By partnering with adjacent local landowners, including Rocking H Ranch, Triple-C Ranch, San Domenico School, and Marin County Open Space District (MCOSD), the multi-agency project aims to reduce hazardous fuels on more than 200 acres of high-risk grass woodlands in and around Sleepy Hollow.

Sleepy Hollow was recognized nationally as Firewise Community in 2016 and 2017, as a result of SHFPD funded activities and projects related to hazardous vegetation removal, community preparedness events, training, and long term planning that reduces the risk of wildfire for all residents and visitors to Sleepy Hollow. As a nationally recognized Firewise USA Site, Sleepy Hollow residents may receive specific benefits, such as discounted homeowners insurance and access to grant funding opportunities for future hazard reduction projects.
