Cheakamus Community Forest Info Session – Highlights

A keen crowd attended the November 19 Cheakamus Community Forest Information Session at the SLCC Long House. Nick Soverel, RPF with Frontera Forest Solutions and Abe Litz, RPF with Chartwell Resource Group gave presentations on the Climate Resiliency Plan and how it is being used to develop the CCF’s strategic operations plan.

The plan identifies where the CCF forest is most at risk from the main climate change risks, wildfire and heat/drought. The strategic operations plan will use that information to map out where and how the forest will be managed to provide harvesting, management and silviculture opportunities that will create a more diverse, resilient forest over time. The CCF will use a three pronged approach to deciding what to do and where by determining if an area is resistant, resilient or in transition to climate change.
