Tree City USA Bulletin no. 41: How to Reduce Wildifre Risk

The purpose of this bulletin is to help stop a national tragedy. The annual loss of homes destroyed by wildfires would lessen if more people were aware of (1) the fact that no area of the country is immune to these disasters, (2) that the right use of trees and other vegetaion- not necessarily their elimination- can help protect homes, and (3) some basic principles that should guide home construction in forested areas.
