Trainings

Preparing for Wildfires with Firescaping is a project designed to increase Southeastern U.S. wildfire preparedness by educating community members about fire-resilient landscaping, or firescaping. Through several presentations and activities, the training will teach participants about Southeastern U.S. wildland fire history, fire behavior, home ignition, plant flammability, firescaping design and maintenance, home wildfire risk assessment, combining firescaping with other landscape objectives, recommendations for sharing firescaping with the broader community, and more.
