The Nakusp and Area Community Forest (NACFOR) harvesting plans for Summit Lake tenure area have been designed to follow western toad best management practices to reduce impacts, maintain terrestrial habitat, and hibernacula.

Harvesting will be completed during the winter months, with frozen ground and a snowpack to reduce impacts, and outside of the western toad migration and breeding season. The planned blocks will be partial cuts with varying levels of tree retention zones, riparian area buffers, and wildlife tree retention. No clearcuts are being proposed.

Western toad best management practices were developed in 2015 for harvesting in the Summit Lake area. These practices were informed by field studies conducted at Summit Lake from 2014 – 2017. NACFOR is committed to responsibly and sustainably managing the community forest tenure for the economic, social, and environmental benefit of the Nakusp and area community.

Wildfire risk reduction work is ongoing in the Wensley Creek area. Crews are working on Phase 2 of Unit 5, using hand treatment and mechanical treatment techniques.

Wildfire risk reduction work is done to increase public safety and reduce the risk of a catastrophic fire, especially near communities.
This WRR work in Unit 5 was funded by the Forest Enhancement Society of BC.

NACFOR has led WRR treatment in many different areas around Nakusp. Since 2020, about 160 hectares in the wildland urban interface and within the Village of Nakusp have been treated.
