Wildfire mitigation & Defensible Space What is Wildfire Mitigation & Defensible Space?
Defensible space is an area surrounding your home that prevents a forest fire jumping from the trees to your home. There are specific ways a defensible zone is created:
Benefits to having defensible space include:
All too often we associate fire mitigation with cutting down trees ,left and right, and images of a stripped forest. If done properly, nothing could be further from the truth. Proper fire mitigation results in properly spaced canopies, less fuels, more light reaching the tree canopy and the flora and fauna below. Furthermore, the process leaves an abundance of water, nutrients and beneficial fungus (mycorrizahae) in the soil for the remaining trees to thrive. All of this leads to larger, more beautiful trees. And properties with large, well-maintained trees can appraise for 20-30% more than a property with poorly maintained trees!
