Creating Beautiful, Native Landscapes in the Face of Water Scarcity and Fire
A Virtual Symposium Presented in 5 modules
September 13 through November 10, 2022
Tuesdays & Thursdays
4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (unless noted otherwise)
The APLD California Chapter (APLD CA) and Advocacy Committee are pleased to provide our members and landscape professionals with this educational symposium:
“Slow the Burn”
Learning from the Past—and Designing for Future Challenges
The ever-present threat of wildfires in California and other states has dramatically escalated the demand for ecology-based landscapes that address issues of biodiversity collapse, water scarcity, and wildfire threat. Creating landscapes to meet these challenges requires access to specialized knowledge that, until now, has not been readily available.

This program is for all landscape professionals—from novice to seasoned—with residential and commercial projects (both new and renovated sites), and those near or within Wildland Urban (and suburban) Interface (WUI) Zones. It brings together leading experts who will present a compendium of research, experience, and ideas for design, implementation, and care of landscapes that work with fire ecology.
Upon completion of the Symposium’s modules, attendees will have practical information and a working knowledge of design solutions to develop and maintain resilient landscapes that use native plants and promote biodiversity.
Special Notes
