Akisqnuk Wildfire Risk Reduction Treatment

This wildfire risk reduction treatment location is adjacent to the Akisqnuk First Nation reserve on Crown land, just north of the community of Fairmont Hot Springs. Activity will target the removal of non-merchantable stems using hand and mechanized techniques, and the pruning of remaining stems. The outcome of this project will be dramatically reduced fuel loads, risk of catastrophic wildfire, a net carbon sink due to the promotion of large diameter trees, and improved wildlife habitat through returning to a more natural stand structure of open and mixed forest.
