Moore's Meadow Trails Finally Open

By 250 News

You may have a lot of snow to trudge through, but the trails  at Moore’s Meadow are open, now that the  mountain pine beetle trees have been removed, and the  fire threat clean up  is complete.

The project in Moore’s Meadow began in March of this year and resulted in over 56 logging truck loads of logs being hauled out of the park.

The first phase saw TDB Consultants removing mountain pine beetle killed trees on the western side of the park, followed by the south side and finally the eastern side, where the highest density of pine was found.

The second phase of the project involved fire fuel management treatments along trail areas most susceptible to ignition from human-related sources. The Ministry of Forests and Range, Protection Branch Fire Crews worked in a partnership with the City to remove fire fuels from the trails on the west side of the park in the late summer and early fall. Later, crews from the Job Creation Partnership Program between the City of Prince George and Service Canada which is managed by Industrial Forestry Services completed the fire fuel management treatments in the southern portion of the park.
