Implement Mandatory Brush Clearance

Homeowners in Los Angeles County are required to clear brush or face fines, yet public lands owned by the City of Malibu, the County, and the State remain dangerously overgrown. This petition demands that government agencies be held to the same fire safety standards they impose on residents.

Summary:
This petition urges Los Angeles County, the City of Malibu, and the State of California to implement and enforce a mandatory brush clearance program that includes public land, vacant lots, and government-owned parcels. While homeowners face penalties and rising costs to maintain defensible space, even after losing homes to wildfires, local and state agencies are neglecting their own land, creating a serious wildfire hazard. With fires like the Woolsey, Palisades, and Eaton disasters fresh in memory, it’s time for public accountability, transparent enforcement, and urgent prevention efforts before the next fire starts.
