Forests For The World Re-opened

Monday, November 09, 2009 03:49 AM

Prince George, B.C. - Forests for The world has finally reopened to the public now that the forest fuel treatment is complete.

Dead pine trees were removed from this area to reduce the fire hazard and increase user safety. By next spring the brush and herbaceous plants will have greened up and much of the visual impact from the pine removal will be reduced.

During the course of understory fuel treatments at Forests for the World, 27 people received training and job experience through the Job Creation Partnership program: over half of them were hired by other employers allowing others to be trained in their place.

"understory fuel treatments" It kind of has a nice ring to it. Could it mean the brushing and cleaning up of dead branches etc? Maybe we should have an Understory Treatment Ambassidor with a degree in doublespeak to head up this project.
