Hell Raving Creek Wildfire – Path to Rehabilitation

The Community of West Branch Valley experienced a significant threat this fall with the Hell Raving Creek Wildfire. The ECF extends its sincerest condolences to those who lost personal property due to this catastrophic event. As we approach winter, the ECF has been aggressively planning the next steps to review the area damaged by the wildfire, to determine what forest management tactics can be applied within the bounds of the fire perimeter. The ECF has developed a document that outlines the key steps in post-wildfire management such as salvage, assessment, rehabilitation, and the application of federal and provincially available funding sources
