Fortunately\, there are actions residents can take\, such as firescaping\, to help reduce their wildfire risk. \nJoin us for an exciting new training aimed at educating and empowering Master Gardener Volunteers\, Master Naturalists\, other Extension volunteers\, and community leaders to make an impact and help protect Florida homes from wildfire. \nThe 8-hour training (2 hours per week for 4 weeks) includes a blend of presentations\, “hands-on” activities\, and discussions. The training will introduce participants to Florida fire history and behavior\, plant flammability\, firescaping design\, home wildfire risk assessment\, and tips for combining firescaping with other landscape objectives. The training also includes recommended volunteer opportunities and materials. \nAll sessions must be attended to receive the certificate of completion. The knowledge participants gain from this training can be used to educate their communities on firescaping and other wildfire risk reduction measures. \nMORE INFORMATION: Dr. Shelly Johnson\, SSA\, Natural Resources\, UF/IFAS Extension @ Shelly.Johnson@ufl.edu
