Ground Truth of Alkali Lake Fuel Treatment Areas

This project collected field data to support preparation of a landscape level plan for wildfire risk mitigation activities. With spatial data from the BC Wildfire Service 2017 Provincial Strategic Threat Analysis, local collaboration and input from the staff at FLNRORD Forest Stewardship, wildfire perspective from BCWS, input from the city of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District, plus a few more partners, the Esk’etemc were able to create a plan that addressed areas that are high risk as well as identified where there were opportunities to take on fuel treatment projects or to make suggestions on which direction to take wildland fire mitigation plans.
