Wildfire Risk Reduction Program for Fort Walsh National Historic Site 2023-2026

Parks Canada proposes to reduce the wildfire risk at Fort Walsh National Historic Site. 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. Proposed work is to remove ladder fuels, prune tree limbs to a height of 2m+, remove deadfall, and thin out dense tree stands. Chainsaws and other hand tools will be used. This work will occur on 26.2 ha over 3 years. This project will be assessed with a basic impact assessment.
