Forest Enhancement Society of B.C. has provided $1.7 million to thin forests bordering on city boundaries.
Quesnel’s Forestry Initiatives Program has reduced wildfire risk in 230 hectares of forested areas surrounding the community with funding available through the Forestry Enhancement Society of B.C.
FESBC has so far provided $1.7 million for the Quesnel program since 2018. Wildfire risk reduction was the top priority but Kozuki said the plan also earned high marks for incorporating recreational trails and connecting them to logging roads in the area to improve access. The project also maintained the visual quality of the area, leaving plenty of trees intact. Now that the area has been opened and more sunlight is reaching the ground, deer and songbird populations in the area have increased.
“We rely on local people in local communities with local experts in their own backyards to tell us wat they think should be done,” said Kozuki. “We evaluate those proposals and we’re proactive and we’ll work with them.” “We have developed in Quesnel an approach to try innovative forest practices where we can actually demonstrate to people some of the new harvesting techniques we want to do with new equipment but WorkSafeBC, unfortunately, their certification is based on the clear-cutting model, not selective harvesting model, so we can’t get the equipment certified,” Simpson said.
