Hi everyone, Thanks to all who came to the anniversary gathering at the
Quail Hollow Clubhouse last week. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. The
weather was beautiful which allowed us to open the doors and enjoy the golf
course scenery. Below are the announcements for 2 events: a talk on wildfire
in neighborhoods like ours and a reminder that the chipper truck is coming
again next Monday. Thanks for your attention and participation!
Please join the October’s Citizens Planning Academy on
wildfire in the wildland-urban interface. Professor Stephen R. Miller will discuss his new
publication, Planning for Wildfire in the
Wildland-Urban Interface: A Resource Guide for Idaho Communities,
which was researched and compiled along with colleagues at the University of
Idaho’s Bioregional Planning Program, Boise State University’s Public Policy
Research Center, the Idaho Department of Lands, and nationally-recognized
wildfire consultants. The guide demystifies the process of planning for wildfire
into a four-step process that empowers local communities. The guide highlights a variety of solutions already
in place throughout Idaho, as well as techniques used throughout the West that
may be appropriate here, too. This session should be of particular interest
to neighborhoods and residents with properties in the foothills and areas that
interface with grasslands. Wednesday, October 5 from 6 – 7:30 PM Where: U of I College of
Law’s Boise location in the Idaho Law Learning Center (514 W. Jefferson Street,
Room 325). This event is free. Please use the eastern entrance. Parking is
available behind the building on the eastern side in the spots marked
“visitor.” If the link above does not work, please go to the following

. The C.P.A. is a collaboration of Idaho Smart Growth and the University of Idaho College of Law in Boise. Monthly sessions are designed to help citizens become effective advocates on a wide range of planning topics. Programs are free and open to all.
The Chipper Truck is Coming Again! Monday October 10 the chipper truck will be cruising
through our neighborhood. See the notice below for the City’s guidelines.
Thanks to all who participate and help keep our neighborhood “Firewise”. Guidance for Firewise Chipper Services in Boise’s
Neighborhoods Please pile brush on your property until the
Saturday / Sunday before scheduled chipper services.
