 Just on the heals of the Ogden Canyon Fire, Nordic Valley Firewise presents a free landscaping seminar at 6:30pm on September 13 at Wolf Mountain.
Everyone is welcome to attend but the seminar
is specifically designed to help Nordic Valley residents landscape
their homes to minimize the risk from fire. Jerry Goodspeed from Utah
State University and the Utah Botanical Gardens will be the speaker.
Most people will be surprised at how attractive and easy to maintain
the landscaping is. The myth that all of your trees must be cut will
be dispelled!
The
August roadside cleanup was the result of a grant awarded to Nordic
Valley Firewise Committee from the Western States Wildland Urban
Interface Program. We thank the State Lands, Fire and Forestry worker
whose hard work created more attractive and safer right-of-ways.
Future grants are contingent on submission of "In-Kind Match" from
local residents and community businesses.
Help yourselves to the mulch and firewood left on the roadsides. If
you do use the mulch or firewood, be sure to fill out the In-Kind Match
paper work. Your time using the mulch and picking up wood around this
area counts toward our match!
If you didn't see our booth at the Ogden Valley Balloon Fest, ask your
street captain for information about Reverse 911. Thanks to all of our
volunteers during a busy weekend.

Would you
like free mulching this spring to dispose of trees and branches you cut
from your yard? Of course, you will also be welcome to use the mulch
for your gardens and compost piles. The only way this will happen is
by Nordic residents turning in their "in-kind dollars." We
estimate that $7,000 in-kind is needed to match the roadside cleanup
that just happened and up to $15,000 in-kind match is needed for the
spring mulching. We can do this if you will
fill out the Homeowners In Kind Matching Work Summary every time you
work in the yard (or pay someone else to do the work). It only takes a
minute to complete the form.
Homeowners In Kind Matching Work Summaries are on line at
www.ogdenvalleyfiresafety.org or from your street captain. Street
Captains are listed below. If you have any questions please call
Nicole Householder at 745-1122.
