Most fire-adapted living advice online is generic. ForestScapes built Home Hardiness 101 to fix that, with classes grounded in Humboldt County's specific coastal forest conditions.
The sessions walk McKinleyville, Eureka, and surrounding property owners through the fundamentals: how ember exposure actually ignites structures, which vegetation choices near the home matter most, and how to read your own parcel the way a FLASH inspector would.
The goal is not to scare anyone into action. It's to make the reasoning behind defensible space clear, so decisions about pruning, spacing, and fuel reduction feel informed rather than arbitrary.
Classes are offered on a rolling basis and open to any Humboldt County landowner working through a wildfire preparedness plan.

Authentic photo preferred: a shot from an actual Home Hardiness 101 session, such as a group walking a property line or reviewing a defensible space diagram outdoors. If unavailable, a photo of a well-managed home ignition zone, showing proper vegetation spacing near a structure, works as an alternative.
