What happened in Jasper and Los Angeles shows that forest fires can impact any community. The time to prepare and mitigate the risk is now. As the stewards of the urban-wildland interface, forest fire mitigation and disaster preparation is something the outdoor recreation community is uniquely positioned and experienced to take on. What that can look like is the topic of the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC’s April webinar.

In a one hour panel discussion we’ll unpack the importance of preparation and mitigation, how recreation groups can get involved, possible funding sources and more. Our speakers are ideally suited to the conversation.

John Paolozzi is the communications officer for Wildfire Prevention with the BC Wildfire Service. He will speak about Fire Smart activities and provincial funding for mitigation projects. 

Kevin Kriese is the past chair of the Forest Practices Board, a wildfire resilience consultant and is the trail coordinator with the Bulkley Valley Cross Country ski club, where he has worked on fuel treatment projects.

Anyone interested in helping their community become more forest fire resilient will leave the meeting with valuable insights and information. We hope you can join us.
