Post-Fire Site Rehabilitation: Final Report
The special investigation report examined government’s efforts at rehabilitating damage to forests caused by fire fighting. The investigation examined the rehabilitation of 12 forest fires in the southern half of the province, all of which burned during 2003, the worst fire season on record in British Columbia. The investigation found legal rehabilitation requirements were generally met and rehabilitation treatments were effective in maintaining natural drainage patterns and minimizing soil erosion.
