This session will explore how thoughtful landscaping choices—such as plant selection, spacing, and maintenance—can significantly reduce the likelihood of fire spread.\r\n\r\nLed by Kirk Troberg, Community Wildfire Resilience Coordinator with the Washington Department of Natural Resources, this presentation will provide expert guidance on creating defensible space while still maintaining a beautiful and functional outdoor environment.\r\n\r\nParticipants will receive a valuable take-home resource: a Fire-Resistant Plants for Landscapes booklet, which includes plant recommendations and design considerations to support safer, more resilient landscapes.\r\n\r\nWhether you're a homeowner, gardener, or community member interested in wildfire preparedness, this event will equip you with the tools and knowledge to take proactive steps toward safety and resilience.\r\n\r\nTickets at the door for $10.
