      <title>Wildfire Mitigation &amp; Invasive Plant Control (05/30/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://hawcreekavl.com/resources/Pictures/Fire-EcoForesters.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="186" height="240" align="left" style="margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;"&gt;Plan to attend this free workshop co-hosted by EcoForesters and HCCA&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;on &lt;strong&gt;Saturday, May 30, in Haw Creek&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(location details will be emailed to registrants). Learn&lt;/font&gt; &lt;span&gt;how you can make your home more resilient to wildfire and how controlling non-native invasive species will help native plants thrive in our community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The first part of the workshop will be hearing from the EcoForesters team and Doug Baughman, HCCA board member and lead on our &lt;a href="https://hawcreekavl.com/Firewise" target="_blank"&gt;Firewise Program&lt;/a&gt;. The rest of the morning will be spent taking action, using the park to find examples of non-native invasive plants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please register on the EcoForesters website at &lt;a href="https://www.ecoforesters.org/outreach-events/" target="_blank"&gt;ecoforesters.org/outreach-events&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;as they will be handling the registration for this event.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Participants will have an opportunity to sign up for work days, have an assessment done on their property, or identify landowners that need assistance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This workshop is the next step in our efforts to move forward with the Firewise USA certification process. Our goal is for Haw Creek to achieve official recognition&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;as a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nfpa.org/education-and-research/wildfire/firewise-usa#preparing-homes-for-wildfire" target="_blank"&gt;Firewise USA community&lt;/a&gt;, helping us strengthen wildfire preparedness, improve community safety, and protect our homes and natural surroundings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="426" data-end="552"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;We encourage everyone to participate in this workshop and learn more about the steps we can take together to support this important initiative.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
