Landscaping For Wildfire Protection Class In Los Gatos- September 24

Press release from the Town of Los Gatos:

September 8, 2020

The Los Gatos Library is offering a Landscaping for Wildfire Protection Class on September 24, 2020 at 6 p.m. via Zoom. Join Barbara Hunt with UC Master Gardeners of Santa Clara County for this talk on landscaping for wildfire protection.

Living in the wildland-urban interface, people and homes are at risk from wildfires. It doesn’t take a Camp Fire to destroy homes: a small grass fire can still result in a house being burned to the ground. While there are no guarantees your home will escape, landscaping around your home can help protect it. Learn about how wildfires spread, Defensible Space, plants that resist fire, and what you can do right now and into the future to protect your home as much as possible. Email Library@losgatosca.gov for meeting link and password.
