Ralph Bloemers, director of Fire Safe Communities for Green Oregon, has worked for over 20 years with scientists, tribes, and conservation groups throughout the Pacific Northwest on the conservation of our forests, including burned landscapes. He has investigated the causes of fires, documented wildlife and recovery in burned landscapes, and worked to help communities prepare for more fire in a hotter, drier world. In this June 9 webinar, Ralph will share his knowledge and insights to address topics such as the difference between wildfire and community fire, how homes actually ignite during wildfires, lessons from post-fire evaluations, research, and building science, and the role of landscape design in creating fire-adapted communities. With the right knowledge and preparation, landscape architects and designers can lead the way in creating site-scale landscapes that are beautiful, livable, habitat-friendly, and wildfire prepared.
