Frequently Asked Questions

Wildfire Resilient Landscapes is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making California more fire-adapted, ecologically balanced, and community-empowered.

We focus on reducing wildfire risk through native plant restoration, fire-smart landscaping, and public education. Our work includes rebuilding resilient ecosystems with fire-resistant and drought-tolerant plants, helping communities create defensible space, training the next generation in environmental resilience, and teaching residents about fire ecology and climate-smart practices.

Through initiatives like seed kits and future restoration sites, WRL is working to build a safer and greener future for Southern California—one plant at a time.

Wildfire Resilient Native Plants Nursery (WRN) is the for-profit social enterprise connected to Wildfire Resilient Landscapes. Its purpose is to grow and supply native, drought-tolerant, and fire-resilient plants and seeds for communities, homeowners, landscapers, and restoration projects across California.

WRN is designed to support both ecological and economic resilience. By offering regionally adapted plants, WRN helps reduce wildfire risk, restore biodiversity, and promote sustainable landscaping practices. It also creates opportunities for local job growth and future partnerships with schools, agencies, and nonprofits.

While still in its early stages, WRN aims to:

• Provide affordable access to fire-resilient and pollinator-friendly plants.
• Offer seed kits and starter plants to households in high wildfire-risk areas.
• Supply larger-scale projects such as habitat restoration, public landscaping, and community green spaces.
• Reinforce the mission of WRL by generating earned income that sustains long-term environmental work.
   

Together, WRL and WRN form a complementary model that is a sustainable, mission-driven business that supports nonprofit education and community programs.
