Prescribed burns
The most recent BCWF webinar dealt with wildfires, and something that came out of it (among a lot of other good stuff) was the question of "When do you want your smoke?"
We're going to have fires, but there's a belief that we can reduce the negative impacts and create some positives with prescribed burns.
But the smoke! The Smokanagan is a real thing. There are people who oppose prescribed burns because they don't want smoke. The real question is: Since you're going get fires and smoke anyway, when do you want your smoke?
BCWF is pro-prescribed burns, which is why I'm posting this in the BCWF forum. Penticton news story from today, December 20, 2021.
