Using Native Plants for Fire-Resistant Landscapes
Tuesday, June 29, noon – 1:30 p.m. CDT
Far from being the firebombs often depicted in the media, a native landscape can be an ecologically responsible approach to creating effective defensible space. Not one of Greg’s client’s homes were lost in nearly 3 dozen major fire events. Consequently, the US Navy selected his company to conduct a 5-year research study into the effectiveness of California native landscapes as enhanced defensible space. Gre’s co-Principal Investigator was Dr. Jon Keeley, one of the world’s foremost fire ecologists. Greg will cover the startling results, as well as general principles for successful native landscape design, installation and maintenance in fire-prone areas.
