This project was within the Williams Lake Community Forest and aimed to create a landscape level fuel break to assist in protecting the City of Williams Lake. The break was placed all along the hydro powerlines and
essentially widens the break area on either side of the powerline by reducing the amount of flamable fuel in
those areas. Logging debris and small diameter wood was sent to a Williams Lake bio-energy facility.
