Summary

The Palisades Forestry Committee submitted comments to the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection opposing the proposed Zone 0 defensible space regulations, arguing that scientific evidence from the January 2025 Palisades wildfire demonstrates that healthy, irrigated trees provided fire protection and that removing vegetation poses greater risk than maintaining ember-resistant landscaping. The committee advocates for a balanced, science-based approach that preserves fire-resistant native vegetation rather than the proposed near-total clearing of trees and shrubs.
