Quesnel City council has approved new community funding contributions.
The contributions make up 25 percent of the total costs for the two fuel treatment units in the City of Quesnel and Area’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
Fuel Treatment Unit number 15 is located in the Marsh Road area and covers 326 hectares, and Unit number 29 is 341 hectares in the Nazko Highway area.
City Council is continuing to lobby the provincial government to fully fun the Community Wildfire Protection Plan on crown-owned lands.
