Implementation
Consult with CAL FIRE, the Sacramento Tree Foundation, and SelecTree to identify wildfire-resistant species and the appropriate species of trees for fire hazard severity zones. Incorporate such recommendations into updates to landscaping standards and tree planting guidelines in County Code or other appropriate documents.
Benefits: Selecting wildfire-resistant or fire hazard severity zone–appropriate species would help mitigate wildfire risk while allowing the County to continue to expand tree planting efforts that result in improved air quality and urban heat island mitigation.
Timeframe: Near term
