About the Coalition
A resilient landscape is fire-wise, water wise and promotes biodiversity by using California native plants. These gardens use sustainable practices, plant selection, and maintenance to reduce the risk of fire in the defensible space zone.
Resilient gardens save water, protect us from fire and promote biodiversity.

The goal of the Resilient Landscapes Coalition is to encourage fire-wise landscape design and management in the defensible space zone, while at the same time enhancing biodiversity and wildlife habitat, and conserving resources. |
The Coalition formed for several reasons:
|
PARTNERSonoma Ecology Center works to address challenges related to water supply and quality, open space, rural character, biodiversity, energy, climate change, and a better quality of life for all residents.
Since 1990, we’ve worked to increase appreciation and stewardship of Sonoma Valley’s natural heritage and create measurable benefits in areas of land, water, climate change and biodiversity. Vision: We envision a future where people, land, water, and wildlife thrive. Mission: Our mission is to work with our community to identify and lead actions that achieve and sustain ecological health in Sonoma Valley. |
partnerThe UC Master Gardener Program of Sonoma County (UCMGSC) has been extending educational outreach and providing technical assistance to home gardeners since 1981. UCMGSC answers gardening questions and takes a proactive role in extending sustainable landscaping education outreach to our community. Master Gardeners are trained and certified University of California volunteers whose mission is to provide unbiased, high quality, science-based information to non-commercial home gardeners. Master Gardeners are given an extensive training program in plant science covering such topics as sustainable landscaping, soil and plant nutrition, irrigation, weed-insect-disease control, vegetables, fruit trees and berries, landscape trees-shrubs-lawns-flowers, home composting, and pesticide use alternatives, and more!
