B.C. wants your help in identifying erosion, flood risks for Bulkley-Nechako

As the snow melts, the Ministry of Forests is asking for public help in identifying erosion and flood risks in Bulkley-Nechako.

In a press release, the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development said areas affected by last year’s wildfire season face a higher risk of soil erosion.

Jason Llewellyn, Director of Planning with the regional district of Bulkley-Nechako, explains that as the weather warms up, the risks increase.

“The runoff from the melting snow is a … concern, but also periods of heavy rainfall has the potential to create issues.”

If you see potential flood or erosion risks, the Ministry is asking you call them at 250-567-6363.
