Lake Country residents will soon see smoke rising in the hills, but it wonº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™t be a matter of concern.

The Rider Ventures Ltd will be working with the Ministry of Forests on a wildfire risk reduction fuel mitigation prescription on Spion Kop.

The crew has working to complete a danger tree assessment as well as falling and marking wildlife trees so it is safe to work.

Starting Nov. 27, the wildfire team will work to thin, and prune the surface fuel as well as will be pile burning. There will be 10 personnel and two small excavators working in the area from Monday to Friday until the end of March 2024.

All-access into the work areas will be from The Lakes subdivision trail accesses.

There may be signed temporary trail closures for public safety when the crew is actively falling trees. All trails will be open on weekends.

The District of Lake Country is asking residents to Watch for signage identifying work areas and to stay out of the active work zones and find an alternate trail to use.
