Wildfire Risk Reduction Treatments Within 100 Mile Community Forest – Phase 2

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 project phase includes the development of site-specific forestry prescriptions and the implementation of various fuel management treatments. The total area to be planned and prescribed over the four-year period is estimated to be 345 hectares and operational treatments are planned for 260 hectares. Project activities include surveys, treatment prescription development, harvesting, tree thinning, pruning, and reduction of fuel loading in areas surrounding the communities of 100 Mile House, Horse Lake, and Lone Butte.
