Description

This project will create a 6km fire guard along the southwest corner of the City of Whitehorse. In addition, the project includes the removal of all conifer plants within the identified 150 hectare area, addressing Whitehorse West Landscape-level Fuel Management Plan (2006). This removal follows standards set for reduction of Crown Fire Hazard. The creation of a fire guard to protect this area is critical as there is significant potential for fires within the city of Whitehorse and its extensive areas of country residential dwellings.
