Description

One hundred and twenty-seven wildfire lookout sites are located throughout Alberta’s boreal forest and along the Rocky Mountains. Each site is staffed by a lookout observer whose job is to watch for wildfire all day, each day, generally from April to October. To help prevent conflict with bears, Wildfire staff with Agriculture and Forestry have adopted a number of Alberta BearSmart recommendations for many of their sites, key amongst them is the installation of electric fencing.
