WHO: Cypress Ranch WCID No. 1 is hiring Landscape Business Services to provide a late summer brush shredding and pick-up event for the residents of West Cypress Hills.

WHY: Cypress Ranch WCID No. 1 is working on reducing the risk of fire spreading by encouraging residents to make a 30-ft. fire break between their homes and any brush. Trimming limbs of trees 6'-8' above the ground is also recommended. Residents may clear up to 50 ft. of greenbelt area behind their homes. The goal is to reduce brush and to limb up trees in order to “buy time” for the fire department to set up and extinguish fires that may occur in greenbelts.

WHEN: On August 9 & 10, 2021, Landscape Business Services crews will be collecting brush and tree limbs that have been cleared from greenbelt areas and from around homes.
