The San Anselmo Racial Equity Ad Hoc Committee Presents a Celebration of Black History Month

During the month of February your Racial Equity Ad Hoc Committee has contributed articles about Black History. This week’s piece includes two interviews, one with James Baldwin and the other with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. From the committee member who contributed, “For me these interviews stand out and make such a statement on how the United States has for centuries treated our Native people, African, Chinese, Japanese, and Central & South Americans.”

Fire Smart

February 2022 Fire-smart Tips from UC Marin Master Gardeners

  • Remove dead trees
  • Consider creating separation by increasing spacing between tree canopies while considering flat vs sloped terrain.
  • Maintain vertical clearance of at least 3X the shrub’s height between the tops of shrubs and the bottom of the tree canopy. This can be done by pruning the shrub down, or by pruning smaller, easily ignitable tree branches up, or by using both methods.
  • Plant spacing, size control and maintenance are more important than type of plant.

 
Additional Information can always be found on the Marin Master Gardeners website. https://marinmg.ucanr.edu/BASICS/FIRESMARTLANDSCAPING/
