Work will be taking place in Williams Lake to reduce the size and intensity of future wildfires.
Risk reduction activities in the South Lakeside and Fox Mountain neighbourhoods may include, removing hazardous trees and shrubs, reducing wood debris or other fuels, thinning forested areas and pruning low hanging branches.
In addition to making it easier for firefighters to fight future fires, the projects will also improve the long-term resiliency of forests and enhance habitat for wildlife. The risk reduction will take place behind homes on Pheasant Dr. and Gannet Rd. on Fox Mountain. On the South Lakeside, work will take place east of Kinglet Rd and Fetters Dr. as well as south of Bluff View Dr.
During this project the Billy Goat, Russet Bluff and South side trails will be closed on days when contractors are working nearby. Signage and road blocks will be placed on the trails during these times.
