Seminar Description:
As California’s population and temperature continue to grow, so does the likelihood of community-destroying wildfires. Join Douglas Kent, author of "Firescaping: Protecting Your Home with a Fire-Resistant Landscape," as he highlights the essential qualities of a protected property.
