Description

The intent of this Fire Management Plan is to recommend fire management strategies to mitigate wildfire threat to landscape and species values, as well as communities; minimize threats to forest health (e.g. mountain pine beetle infestation); and allow natural fire regimes to re-establish across the landscape, while prioritizing ecological integrity. In order to meet the intent, a variety of fire management strategies will be employed. The strategies include zoning the Willmore for wildfire management between a natural fire zone where natural fires may be permitted to burn and a managed fire zone where fires will generally continue to be suppressed. Currently the entire Willmore Willmore Wilderness Park Fire Management Plan – November 2006 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.
