Landscaping Paradigms, Wildfire, & Habitat
Join the authors of Firescaping Your Home: A Manual for Readiness in Wildfire Country to explore paradigms that get in the way of landscaping for defensible space or supporting native biodiversity. We will focus on psychological conventions in landscaping that often complicate the adoption of firesafe strategies, including foundation plantings, fences, wind patterns, and habitat fragmentation. We will wrap up with a discussion on support for biodiversity and fire insurance challenges.
