Fire-Wise Landscaping

Living next to Natural Undisturbed Open Space (NUOS) offers beauty, biodiversity, and environmental benefits—but also requires thoughtful management. NUOS areas support wildlife habitat, reduce flooding through natural stormwater absorption, and help cool communities. HOAs manage the open space, while homeowners maintain their lots responsibly. Together, proper stewardship ensures fire safety, healthy ecosystems, and long-term property value in Tucson’s desert communities.
