Ornamental junipers are considered a bad plant choice for homes located in wildfire-prone areas. A good fire adapted community tip is to remove ornamental junipers or other hazardous wildfire fuels located within 30 feet of your home or other structures and bring them to the collection site for FREE chipping. Participants will receive a coupon from Moana Nursery (valid May 6 – 13) for 20% off of a Moana-grown replacement shrub. Limit one coupon per household, while supplies last.

ACCEPTED: Junipers, pines, rabbitbrush, sagebrush, other woody vegetation.
NOT ACCEPTED: Construction lumber, hazardous materials, lawn clippings, sod, dirt infested vegetation, tree stumps or limbs in excess of 8″ in diameter.

Heart-warming tunes filled the air thanks to many many musicians, members of the Northern Nevada Bluegrass Association.
