This spring and summer, ALRFS staff will be planning and implementing small stand management treatments to mitigate forest fire and safety risks posed by dead trees on  UNBC Campus.  Planned and supervised  by Mike Jull, professional forester and manager of the ALRF, these treatments will focus on a total of  around 5  hectares of beetle-killed pine stands  plus any  scattered unsafe trees along  campus road sides and parking lots. A consultation process for the UNBC campus  will be conducted through the last half of April and the tree removal will occur in June and July.

More information about these campus forest management activities will be available on the UNBC Facilities website.
