Corridor. The Highway 39 corridor captures forested crown land within 300m on either side of Highway 39 center line. The corridor excludes right of way tenures for Highways, Telus, CN, Fortis and BC Hydro, as well as private land, woodlots, IR parcels, recreation reserves, large wetlands, and some permitted road areas. Only polygons large enough to be operationally managed were included. A 600m width for the corridor was selected based on current fire behavior knowledge and fuel management objectives. The composition of the corridor is a mix of undisturbed forests and harvested openings with a range of plantation ages. The primary management focus for the corridor is for long term and proactive mitigation of wildfire hazards, and will be incorporated into FDU 2.
