Fuel Thinning Activities In The Sea To Sky Corridor

Fuel Thinning Activities In The Sea To Sky Corridor

Here in the Pemberton, Squamish, and Whistler area we are blessed with some of the most beautiful scenery in the province. Our close proximity to forests is great for nearly every imaginable outdoor activity. It also means we have to be ever-vigilante about the risk of fire. Thankfully, wildfire management programs and fuel thinning projects are in place in our area. The Resort Municipality of Whistler has begun a fuel thinning project above the Brio subdivision, for example.

The Fort McMurray wildfire showed us that forest fire season can be devastating to communities if they are not properly prepared. The fire risk is greatest at the forest-urban interface, where private land meets forest. High fuel loading occurs when structures are interspersed with dense thickets of underbrush. Fuel thinning involves removing ground brush and debris, pruning branches, and removing specific trees to reduce the risk of wildfire.

We specialize in fire mitigation services to keep your property safe. Our mulching approach is the preferred wildfire management plan technique for municipalities as well as home owners. Let us help safeguard your property from wildfire.
