Creston Community Forest (CCF) is proposing two landacape level mechanical wildfire risk reduction blocks Peterson Creek and Found Creek this year. The blocks are a part of our ongoing effort to reduce wildfire risks, protect the community and foster climate-resilient ecosystems.

The East and West Kootenay Youth Climate Corps teams came together in Creston to complete training for their Basic Fire Suppression and Safety certificate and Basic Chainsaw Safety course, conducted by Loki Tree Service. This training equipped the crew with skills for their wildfire risk reduction project taking place in the Creston Community Forest this May, as well as skills for future environmental careers!
