Wilderness Park is a managed fire zone with full suppression. Enabling a natural fire zone as soon as possible reduces the potential to impact natural fire cycles.Selective, conservative prescribed burns or hand cut containment lines will be used as tools within Willmore Wilderness Park to: i. provide a fireguard in order to support the Town of Grande Cache Community Protection Plan; ii. target a specific area of recurrent mountain pine beetle infestation; and iii. complement existing topography to create a contiguous fireguard to delineate the natural fire and managed fire zones. There is no intent to introduce prescribed burns on the Willmore landscape to artificially create fire patterns representing the natural range of variability.The Fire Management Plan is a strategic, landscape level plan to guide the overall parameters of fire management within Willmore Wilderness Park. Detailed prescribed burn plans, outlining operational logistics and ecological considerations as well as communication plans (i.e. public notification and signage), will be developed for each specific burn. These detailed prescribed burn plans will be reviewed and must be approved by both departments (CD and SRD) before the burns are conducted.The project team developed a Terms of Reference (Appendix I) . which outlined the project rationale, process, team roles and responsibilities, consultation and timelines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
