Two of the region’s most respected experts on wildfire, local ecology and post-fire regeneration — Richard W. Halsey, director of the California Chaparral Institute, and Jon E. Keeley, research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey — will discuss “Southern California Wildfires: Protecting Our Homes and the Natural Environment” on Saturday.
This free discussion, co-hosted by the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wildflowers & Native Plants and the Glendale Department of Public Works, will address how communities can adapt to fire-prone environments and the importance of nature education. The event’s hosts also have invited local fire officials.
The talk runs 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Clark Magnet High School auditorium, 4747 New York Ave., La Crescenta.
