With wildfire risk increasing each year, now is the time to act. Join the Washington Department of Natural Resources and Clallam Conservation District for an informative workshop focused on preparing for wildfire season to improve protection for your home, buildings and land.

Topics will include fire ecology in Western Washington, common causes of wildfire, risks in the wildland-urban interface, and even more importantly, how to identify and reduce hazards around your home and property. We’ll also cover Firewise principles, including defensible space and fire-resistant native landscaping to reduce risk while supporting a healthier, more fire-resilient environment. Participants will take part in a live demonstration of a home wildfire risk assessment and learn practical steps they can take to improve safety on their own property.
