The burn is being conducted as part of a silviculture management activity to prepare the site for planting and to eliminate the threat of adelgid, a naturally occurring forest pest which limits tree growth. The prescribed burn will take place approximately three kilometres off the Trans-Canada Highway and is located in Forest Ecosystem Management District 14 on the west coast. The prescribed burn will take one day to complete, weather conditions permitting. - 30 - Media contact: Tracy Barron 2009 07 10 9:40 a.m. |
