Cultural burning will be happening tomorrow (Wednesday) about two kilometres northeast of Gitanyow.
This is being done in collaboration with the B.C. Wildfire Service with traditional and hand ignition tactics being used.
About 15 hectares of area will be burned with smoke visible from the Gitanyow community, Village of Kitwanga, and travelers on Highways 16 and 37.
The burn is being done to reduce hazardous fuels for community protection, promoting forest health and resilience, and increase black huckleberry production.
