Abstract:
Removal of ground debris to minimize fire risk in the watershed serving Lake Country will result in the provision of firewood to Okanagan Indian Band seniors and Beaver Lake area lease lot holders for the winter.
The District of Lake Country received funding from Forest Enhancement Society of British Columbia (FESBC) to undertake wildfire reduction work near the Beaver Lake dam. The removal of ground debris started in September and continues through October on just over 11 hectares in the Beaver Lake area to reduce the wildfire risk and protect water infrastructure.
