“Ecologically Aware Firewise: Backyards and Beyond”
with Ken Bevis and Kirsten Cook
A Methow Conservancy First Tuesday Presentation
April 12th, 7:00-8:30pm in the Methow Valley Community Center gym (on the second Tuesday!).
Join us for a very close-to-home program on how you can prepare your Methow property for fire season while being ecologically smart and sensitive. Ken Bevis with DNR’s Small Forest Landowner Stewardship program and Kirsten Cook, a Firewise expert with the Okanogan Conservation District, will co-lead an important and practical presentation on how to consider wildlife habitat elements such as snags, logs, shrubs, brush, openings, thinning, and more as you create defensible space and become more firewise. Ken will also share his personal story of defensible space he calls "Our House almost burned down.” The program is free and open to everyone. For more information, contact us at 996-2870 or mary@methowconservancy.org.
