Resilient Landscapes Coalition

Learn how to create and maintain a fire-wise and sustainable landscape that supports biodiversity and meets
County code requirements. Maintenance of the landscape is the most important step in keeping your property
and neighborhood fire-wise and sustainable. We will cover summer appropriate maintenance practices to preserve and enhance wildlife habitat, while keeping your property fire-wise and sustainable.

This workshop will allow plenty of time for questions, and will provide:

• Tips on maintenance techniques such as pruning, irrigation, mulching, & composting
• Recommendations for fire-wise maintenance in the 0-5’, 5-30’, and 30-100’ defensible space zones.
• Practical ways to reconcile the sometimes conflicting guidelines to achieve a beautiful, biodiverse, fire-wise landscape that conserves precious water and energy.
• Steps to take on Red Flag Warning Days
