This project involved planning and harvesting of severely
degraded, dead, or uneconomical stands and treatments for a landscape level fuel break to reduce wildfire risk. The focus of operations was on mountain pine beetle-killed stands with limited regeneration, on rehabilitation, and on reforestation. Large areas of wildfire breaks were constructed through mechanized treatments and manual cutting which created employment for First Nations peoples and protected local communities from wildfire risks. While this project is complete, work continued under a new wildfire risk reduction proposal,
WR0000121.
