The City of Prince George
The City of Prince George’s urban forest is an integral part of the city’s identity. They are truly a “city within a forest”. The City employs Professional ISA Certified Arborists and Registered Professional Foresters to ensure forest health, protection from wildfire, and enhance their urban forest.
B.A. Blackwell and Associates Ltd. has worked with the Environment Division for several years to develop plans and prescriptions to reduce forest fuels that contribute to wildfire risk both within and outside city limits. Prescriptions consider a wide range of forest values including but not limited to maintenance of forest health, protection of wildlife habitat, recreation, fisheries and water quality. Fuel management has been focused on those areas impacted by the Mountain Pine Beetle and where fuel loading is high in close proximity to homes and neighbourhoods, public facilities such as schools, and municipal infrastructure.
