This project was a continuation of work on the Whistler area wildfire fuel break and involved the removal of trees and surface and ladder fuels with delivery of the vegetation to a composting site. The priority areas were along the single lane forest service road in and out of Cheakamus Lake and Garabaldi Provincial Park. This project lead to further projects to complete the entire road system and promote a safer egress route in case of wildfire.
