CAL FIRE is partnering with California ReLeaf to encourage cities, nature groups, schools, and youth organizations to celebrate California Arbor Week by planting trees in their communities. California ReLeaf is an alliance of community-based groups, individuals, industries, and government agencies working to protect the environment by planting and caring for trees and the state's urban and community forests.

Defensible Space: You Can Do It

Remove or reduce flammable vegetation around all structures. State law and local fire codes requires a minimum of 100 feet of clearance, but check with your insurance agent to see if your carrier requires more. For more information about state law, contact your local fire department.
