Fuel Management & Prescriptions for District of Mackenzie
Mackezie
Highway 39 Fuel Management
Frontera led and managed a basic risk assessment for the Highway 39 corridor, which identified key risk areas and areas for further fuel management prescription development.
We then led all aspects of field work, analysis and application of prescription development for 500 ha along Highway 39.
Parks and Rec Fuel Management
Frontera has assisted in developing prescriptions within the District, including areas within its parks and recreation areas totalling 40 ha.
FireSmart Planning & Implementation
We've worked with the District's FireSmart Coordinator to aid on FireSmart planning and implementation across the district.
Burn Planning & Fuels Mapping for X'wisten Nation
X'wisten
FireSmart & Fuels Webmap
Frontera worked with Coldstream Nature-Based Solutions to build an interactive and educational organization system to house all of X'wisten's FireSmart and forestry fuels information.
The webmap system is being utilized by Band staff for ongoing data entry and leadership decision making.
Prescribed Burn Planning
Frontera and Coldstream Nature-Based Solutions are developing burn plans for approximately 100 ha in and around the community.
These burns will further reduce fuels in areas that have already been manually treated to better support the healthy, fire-adapted forest ecosystems that currently exist.
