Event Description
Many urban residents are wondering “what can I do to better protect my home from wildfire, and what are city and county officials considering in terms of wildfire survivability of our built environment?" In this discussion, local and national wildfire professionals like Wildfire Partners, Community Wildfire Planning Center, and researchers out of UC Davis and Oregon State touched on the factors that best protect structures in wildland urban environments, and innovative engineering and building materials we can all consider.

This webinar is part two of a three part learning series. After the recent Marshall Fire, The Boulder Watershed Collective in partnership with The Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative and The Center for Sustainable Landscapes and Communities wants to be responsive to the voices and concerns we have heard from local communities. In this learning series, we hope to shine a light on potential impacts and adaptations moving forward from this devastating fire. Sign up for the last of these three events to learn about what you can do to adapt to living in fire prone grassland and forested ecosystems.
