Wildfire Protection meeting February 23

Join us on Tuesday, February 23, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. for a community meeting at the Redwood Estates Pavilion regarding the formation of the county-wide Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). 

Right now Redwood Estates is covered under  the Lexington Hills CWPP. By joining the Santa Clara County CWPP, our community stands to be more visible as recipients of state and federal grant funding for fire protection measures. Members of the Santa Clara County Fire Department, Cal Fire, and the Santa Clara County Fire Safe Council are attempting to formalize this new county-wide CWPP. These members are requesting your ideas and input in an attempt to focus on our local concerns regarding wildfire prevention. These efforts will aid in grant writing proposals.

We hope you’ll attend this meeting and share your concerns and ideas. For more information, see the CWPP flyer.

Brush chipping June 13

The continued lack of rain this winter has significantly increased the fire danger in our mountain communities.  It is the time of year to prepare for wildfire season and create defensible space around your home. Not only does this help protect your home in the case of a wildland fire, it also helps protect our community as a whole.

Our next Brush Chipping Day is June 13 at the Pavilion parking lot, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Drive-up only; please do not leave piles.
