Wildfire Risk Reduction project taking place near Heather Park Elementary

A fuel management project near Heather Park Elementary will be ongoing throughout July and August.

The BC Wildfire Service and the Prince George Natural Resource District are conducting the project on crown land adjacent to the school.

Crews will be on-site while school is out of session, they will be removing dead standing and fallen trees, pruning branches, removing fine fuels, and juvenile conifers under 7.5cm in diameter.

All debris will be chipped and removed from the site, and no burning will take place on-site.

Work is being conducted on the project to reduce the available fuel adjacent to public infrastructure, as well as private properties in order to reduce the risk of wildfires in the area.

Public access within the project area may be limited, however, no road closures are anticipated.
