Wildfire Risk Reduction Treatments Within 100 Mile Community Forest – Phase 1

The Forest Enhancement Society of BC (FESBC) is supporting three projects within the 100 Mile House Community Forest which will reduce wildfire risk in priority interface areas. This first phase assessed and identified wildfire risk and fuel break units within 1,125 hectares in areas surrounding the communities of 100 Mile House, Horse Lake, and Lone Butte. The objective has been to create a shaded fuel break which will result in a more fire resilient stand that also conserves mule deer winter range habitat and retains old growth forest characteristics.
