“This burn will reduce hazardous fuels, support native plant regeneration, and enhance habitat complexity — ultimately helping forests withstand drought, pests, and climate stress,…..By lowering wildfire intensity, prescribed fire reduces long-term smoke and carbon emissions, improves the survival of mature trees, and preserves ecological function for future generations.”
– Taylor Nilsson, BCFSC Executive Director
“Living in a fire landscape, it’s our responsibility to steward that landscape with fire,” said Bill Jachs, executive director of Terra Fuego. “So that’s really what’s happening here today. We’re stewarding the land with fire to reduce potential energy for future wildfires, ultimately providing the community the greatest resiliency from wildfire in the future.”
