education signs will describe the types of landscaping as well as ideas on how and where to place the
different varieties that will provide the most benefit. Along with the landscaping displays, DNR has
agreed to provide four (4) fire danger rating signs, aka Smokey Bear signs, to be placed at locations
inside the City of Yakima at no cost.
