This project aims to reduce wildfire risk and fuel loading in areas adjacent to Fox Farm and Lindley Creek subdivisions near Merritt, BC, and to reduce the overall negative impacts of wildfire. Activities include danger tree falling to make the area safer and facilitate access to the area by wildfire suppression crews, spacing and
removal of ladder and ground fuels to reduce the risk of crown fires, and reduction of forest floor fuels to reduce
fire intensity and rate of spread.
