The Shuswap Band will be conducting fire mitigation in the Juniper Heights area starting on Sept. 16.
Crews will be using hand and mechanical treatments to create small burn piles which will be burnt when conditions allow.
However, they will grind and remove material as often as possible to reduce the amount of burning in the area.
The public is asked to avoid using the walking trails during treatments and adhere to all signage at the entrances to the Juniper Heights project area.

Crews will start work in September but the project will be completed in the spring of 2025.
