Learning from the Past—and Designing for Future Challenges

The ever-present threat of wildfires in California and other states has dramatically increased demand for ecology-based landscapes that address biodiversity collapse, water scarcity, and wildfire risk. Creating landscapes to meet these challenges requires access to specialized knowledge that has not been readily available until now.

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 for developing and maintaining resilient landscapes that use native plants and promote biodiversity.

Special Notes

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available for this symposium. Certificates of Completion will be provided to attendees who complete all five modules.
