Xaxli’p Community Forest – Wildfire Risk Reduction Treatment

The project is located in the Xaxli’p Community Forest in the Fountain Creek watershed near Fountain Lake BC, about 15 km north of Lillooet, BC. The project will result in a landscape-level shaded fuel break that connects existing fuel breaks. This shaded fuel break will improve the ability to control spread and compartmentalize fires in the area and improve timber values through thinning and pruning. Fibre removed through this activity will be recovered where possible in order to maximize fibre utilization.
