Wildfire Risk Reduction at Fort Walsh National Historic Site
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
The purpose of this project is to reduce the risk of wildfire at Fort Walsh National Historic Site by thinning pockets of fuel in two forested areas near the fort site. The total area to be treated is 25 ha. The absence of fire and the maturity of the forest around the fort site has resulted in the accumulation of ladder fuels, old or dying mature trees and downed woody material. By reducing the fuel load on site, removing trees and administering various FireSmart techniques (stand thinning, ladder fuel removal etc.) the impact of a wildfire on the site can be reduced. Ladder fuels will be removed and tree limbs pruned to a height of 2m+ using chainsaws and other various hand tools. Dense areas will be thinned by hand felling and deadfall will also be removed by hand. This project will be assessed with a basic impact assessment.
