Fuel management is the planned manipulation and (or) reduction of living or dead forest fuels for forest management and other land use objectives (CIFFC Wildland Fire Management Glossary, 2021). Some fuel management projects have already taken place in the Village, with more scheduled in the near future to mitigate potential negative impacts from wildfires.

Current fuel management projects have been planned with the direction of Council and guided by the Village's Community Wildfire Protection Plan, 2019 and its draft Community Wildfire Resiliency Plan, expected to be finalized in late 2024.

Various factors impact the steps and timeframes required for Fuel Management to occur, including, but not limited to: vicinity to waterways, land ownership, at risk species, and bird nesting windows.

There will be impacts to trail use during the Spirit Trail fuel management work. Be sure to check our website and social media pages for information on any closures and note the project timelines here.
