Fire Resistance of Plants Master Database & Placement of Species Within Firewise Landscape Zones For Southern Idaho

Full Database Here

Idaho residents who live in or near the urban/rangeland interface endure higher risk for fire-related property damage, as well as greater peril to their families, pets and livestock. Understanding those risks and making changes in landscaping techniques can help keep rangeland fires from becoming disasters at home.

This Database has been developed as tool for homeowners, property managers and the landscape nursery industry to utilize for plant species and placement choices within a Firewise Landscape using the Zone concept shown above.
As a cooperative project with the Bureau of Land Management, the College of Western Idaho Horticulture and the Idaho Botanical Garden, extensive research and testing of over 400 species and cultivars are included in this database and summarize a list of species suggested for each Firewise Landscape Zone.
