Fuel Management

You will notice some fuel management activity on the Gus Johnson and other areas around Lac Le Jeune. This involves pruning trees and removing deadfall. Debris piles will be burned in the fall. This program reduces the likelihood of aggressive, fast-moving wildfires. So expect chainsaw noise and motorized vehicles.

Thankfully we also have helpful visitors who load up their trucks with fallen tress found along the logging roads. While cycling his morning I ran into this fellow from Chilliwack who was out with his 3 kids (cooling off inside the truck) cutting and gathering wood. Quite a haul!
