With wildfire season nearly upon us, you may be considering the option of a Wildfire Response Agreement with the province. If your managed forest land is located outside of a fire response area (municipality or regional district) there are opportunities for the BC Wildfire Service to provide wildfire suppression services on your private land.
For more information on Wildfire Response Agreements, please contact:

North
Cowichan intends to reach as many people and stakeholder groups for input as it can as the municipality works toward short and long-term strategies for its municipal forest reserve.

The public engagement plan covers methods of engagement, a detailed timeline for public engagement, and discussed talking with local First Nations on a government-to-government level on management strategies.
