WILDFIRE MITIGATION STRATEGY - SIFCo Type Two Treatment - Harvesting For Fuel Management

Our Type Two Treatment is one of our five treatment types that we use to implement our 'Slocan Valley Landscape Level Wildfire Protection Plan'. This treatment method is used to reduce fuel loads and initiate climate change adaptation using a merchantable understory removal / overstory retention approach. The harvest pass creates an open forest of established large trees of fire resistant species, per the SIFCo WUI stocking standards. The Type 2 post harvest treatment completes the creation of a fuel managed area by removing sub-merchantable understory stems, ladder fuels, and fine fuels. Our Type 2 treatment uses an excavator to pile concentrations of fine and medium fuels for disposal. Following the machine piling phase, the hand treatment crew go through the unit to address remaining fuel loads. To learn more please visit www.sifco.ca
