What is a moonscape and is it important? What are your thoughts on “gorilla hair mulch”? Do you know if you’ve got “Ladder fuel” laying around your property?
If only there were a Defensible Space guide that demystified the jargon and helped us understand sustainable, easy ways to create fire safe environments around our homes…
Hold onto your shovels and gallons of water (or rather, put them somewhere nearby) and check out this comprehensive, educational guide by Resilient Landscapes Coalition in partnership with Habitat Corridor Project, Sonoma Ecology Center, The UC Master Gardener Program of Sonoma County and FireSafe Sonoma:
Read over valuable defensible space guidelines, learn about defensible space myths, and get great information on home landscapes that can support critical ecosystems.
Access and download the full trifold here.
And remember! Residents of Forestville, Monte Rio, Camp Meeker and Occidental are eligible for $1000 rebate for defensible space work – so when you get inspired and see something you want to try at home, remember to apply!
