Feral goats roam the island and are frequently seen in the highlands at the north and central parts of the island. They strip any greenery they can reach from the Monterey pines, and eat any seedlings that may have germinated. Conservation efforts are now underway to protect the remaining pines from the goats and foster new growth.
