Landscaping for Fire Prevention Landscaping for fire prevention is a critical and harrowing task that property owners in wildfire-prone areas must undertake to protect their homes and loved ones. The thought of losing everything to a devastating fire is a heart-wrenching experience, and taking action to reduce the risk of such a tragedy is a source of great relief and peace of mind. By implementing the principles in this class and creating a defensible space, property owners can create a barrier between their homes and the destructive power of a wildfire, giving them a fighting chance to protect what matters most.

Feral : losing myself and finding my way in America's national parks
by Emily Pennington
After a decade as an assistant to high-powered LA executives, Emily Pennington left behind her structured life and surrendered to the pull of the great outdoors. With a tight budget, meticulous routing, and a temperamental minivan she named Gizmo, Emily embarked on a yearlong road trip to sixty-two national parks, hell-bent on a single goal: getting through the adventure in one piece. She was instantly thrust into more chaos than she'd bargained for and found herself on an unpredictable journey rocked by a gutting romantic breakup, a burgeoning pandemic, wildfires, and other seismic challenges that threatened her safety, her sanity, and the trip itself. What began as an intrepid obsession soon evolved into a life-changing experience.
