Description

Project Background - the Rocky Mountain House Wildfire Management Area (Rocky WMA) has identified 72.9 hectares of previously completed FireSmart treatment area that they would like to conduct maintenance work on. 70.6 ha is identified for selective mulching, 1.5ha is a mulch free zone and 0.8ha is a mulch piles zone. This area consists of forest fuels that pose a wildfire risk to the Nordegg community and can be mitigated through fuel reduction treatments, which will reduce the wildfire threat to Nordegg. Rocky WMA will be mitigating this threat through selective mulching.

Project Objectives
- The Project will accomplish the following:
• It will reduce the wildfire threat that exists to Nordegg.
• The one major goal of the project is to mitigate areas of increased surface fuel loads. The site currently has areas that are showing good aspen regeneration and the goal with the selective mulching is to create more microsites for aspen to flourish.
• This work will also increase fire suppression resource capabilities in the event of a wildfire.
