Shasta College, in collaboration with the University of California Master Gardner program, will host a workshop on mitigating residential landscaping fire hazards.
The workshop will include information on new legislation, such as AB-38 and AB-3074, that targets defensible space around homes. This workshop is a free event and will be held at the Redding Shasta College Main Campus in room 802 on Saturday, October 8, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The workshop will include speakers from Cal Fire, Shasta College Horticulture, the insurance industry, and the University of California’s Forestry and Natural Resources division. Presentations will also cover aesthetically pleasing landscaping and gardening techniques, which comply with new fire-safety regulations and drought restrictions on irrigation.
