Join us for the second workshop of our Four Part Webinar Series: Defensible Space Zones and Code Requirements

When: October 8th, 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

Where: FREE on Zoom!

The Resilient Landscapes Coalition is hosting a FREE, bilingual Four Part webinar series on creating a fire-wise landscape in the Defensible Space zone and beyond, while at the same time enhancing biodiversity and wildlife habitat, and conserving resources.

This four part, one hour per week, workshop series will allow plenty of time for questions and discussion!

Part 2 – Mimi Enright, Program Manager, UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program of Sonoma County, will be presenting on Defensible Space Zones and Code Requirements

“Our home landscapes matter, and they provide critical ecosystem services.  The actions we each take matter in better preparing us for future fires and supporting biodiversity.  It can seem daunting to undertake implementing all the recommendations for creating a sustainable defensible space in your home. Try tackling one or two changes each year to help you down that path.” – Mimi Enright 

 Discover how you can make your home and the landscape beyond it fire resilient with a science-based approach including:

• Principles of defensible space and County and State code requirements.
• How to create and maintain a fire-wise, sustainable garden that supports biodiversity while meeting these County code requirements.
• Recommendations for fire-wise landscaping 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, energy-saving and water- and fire-wise landscape.
