Nadina Burns Lake Community Forest Fire Break

The focus of the project is to reduce wildfire risk to the largest industrial complexes in the Lakes District, an area dominated by pine stands attacked by the mountain pine beetle. The project will result in creation of a fire break between 50-200 metres in width. All conifers will be removed from the fire break zone and in some areas dead pine will be removed to enhance wildlife habitat. All of the wildfire risk reduction treatments funded for this project were for the portion of works completed over and above the normal harvesting activities. This project could not have been completed without coordinating the treatments with normal harvest operations.
