Learn ways that can reduce impacts of wildfires on your property. Karen Hancock with the Sonoma County Fire District and April Owens with Resilient Landscape Coalition and Executive Director of the Habitat Corridor Project will discuss how modifications to your property, like simple pruning, cleaning out gutters, and planting Firewise plants can help your home survive a wildfire.

Most wildfires are caused by flying embers, which can travel 5 miles ahead of the fire. Reducing risks on your property can make the difference. The talk will focus on subdivision type homes and include suggested plants.

Residents 50 years and up are welcome to attend in-person. The talk will be recorded and made available to all on the Windsor COPE Facebook page and YouTube channel. Please register in advance for in-person at https://bit.ly/readywindsor2. For those who are not a Windsor Senior Recreation Center member, call the senior center at 707-838-1250 to sign up. Please share this invite with your friends and family.
