Wildfires across interior British Columbia have left large portions of forest degraded, including areas in the Nicola Watershed and near Burns Lake. Years after the fires, many sites remain understocked or unable to regenerate on their own with added pressure from drought, erosion, and destabilized river systems. This project supports the long-term recovery of these landscapes that will also strengthen watershed health and rebuild habitat. Working with local planting partners and integrating Indigenous knowledge, the restoration efforts aim to reintroduce culturally important plants, enhance biodiversity, and protect ecological resilience for future generations. Restored forests will also help extend the spring snowpack, strengthening long-term water resilience.
