Resilient Landscaping: Gardening in the Defensible Space Zone 4 Part Weekly Series – Part 2

Defensible Space Zones and Code Requirements

Mimi Enright, Program Manager, UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program of Sonoma County and Co-Founder of the Resilient Landscapes Coalition, 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, including new Zone Zero requirements.
• How to create and maintain a firewise, sustainable garden that supports biodiversity while meeting these County code requirements.
• Recommendations for firewise 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 firewise landscape.

This one hour workshop will have plenty of time for questions!
