“There are a number of things you can do to make your property less of a target as well as to help officials investigate when a crime does occur,” Zobrist said. “For example, most people aren’t aware that you should have a no-trespass letter on file with the sheriff’s office to help pursue violators.”
The second workshop on Oct. 20 will help landowners learn how to minimize their exposure to wildfire. Workshop participants will learn about fire ecology and practical steps that can be taken to minimize risk to both their forests and their homes.
Both workshops are at the Snohomish County Extension Cougar Auditorium, 600 128th Street S.E., Everett. The cost before September 15 is $25 for one workshop or $40 for both. After September 15 the cost increases to $30 for one and $50 for both.
