Highway 39 Fuel Reduction Project

This project is focused on wildfire risk reduction and includes planning, prescriptions, and treatment on high priority polygons along the Hwy 39 corridor. This corridor is the only main egress route for the community of Mackenzie, BC. The target treatment areas align with the recently updated District of Mackenzie Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Activities include planning and prescription development, harvesting, understory pruning and thinning, and forest floor fuel piling and burning. If feasible, the residual waste fibre resulting from the treatment will be utilized by secondary fibre users in Mackenzie.
