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