Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan (CWPP) Presentation

You know that familiar feeling when the Santa Ana winds kick up and we all start eyeing the dry brush a little more nervously? Well, here’s a chance to turn that anxiety into action. According to the *Ventura Breeze*, the Ventura Land Trust is teaming up with the Ventura Regional Fire Safe Council and our own Ventura Fire Department for a Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan presentation. It’s happening soon, and it’s not just another meeting—it’s a chance to have your voice heard before they update the 2023 CWPP. If you’ve ever wondered where the priority fuel breaks should go or how we can better protect our hillsides and neighborhoods, this is where you can help shape the answer.

And here’s the local kicker: that June 1st deadline for fuel clearance isn’t just city bureaucracy—it’s the same date we all circle on the calendar for defensible space. This workshop is a perfect reminder to get your own yard squared away while also thinking bigger about our shared wildland-urban interface. Whether you live up in the hills or closer to downtown, fire doesn’t care about property lines. So grab a coffee, bring your questions, and let’s make sure our community plan is as sharp as our local teamwork.
