Forest fuel reduction work is scheduled to begin Monday, Nov. 3 in the Elk Park Ranch and Lynx Crescent area of Radium Hot Springs.
The treatment is of 2.02 hectares of municipal land.
“It will involve the careful removal of excess vegetation and debris to reduce potential wildfire intensity,” said municipal staff.
“This includes decreasing surface fuels, ladder fuels and selectively removing mostly smaller coniferous trees.”
Pile burning will occur when conditions allow.
The work is funded by a Union of B.C. Municipalities grant.
