"Helping protect homes, communities and local watersheds by ramping up active forest management. By partnering with communities and First Nations to proactively remove highly flammable woody material and prune tree stands and remove debris, we can slow or stop the spread of wildfires and protect primary water sources for communities – while making better use of all fibre by supplying local mills with fire- damaged timber and waste that would have otherwise been burned or decayed." — An Action Plan for You, retrieved 2024-10-07

"Maximize the use of wetter species within ecosystems historically dominated by wildfires - helping to keep wildfires on the ground and allow for more opportunities to stop wildfires from spreading. More diverse species mixes in specific areas will also enhance wildlife habitat value." — conservativebc.ca, retrieved 2024-10-08

"Implement more selective logging, fuel load management, and species mix in interface areas. The objective is to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires in areas adjacent to communities." — conservativebc.ca, retrieved 2024-10-08

"Work with contractors and the private sector to empower them to be able to act quickly in response to emerging wildfire issues." — conservativebc.ca, retrieved 2024-10-08

1. "Provide local people and communities with training and equipment.
2. Ensure local volunteers and contractors are be able to call-in to support their efforts."

"• Proactively engage communities to build trust, educate, and empower local decisions regarding wildfire management.

• Invest in initiatives that support communities and build social cohesion to enhance resilience.

• Develop and implement place-based solutions tailored to local needs and conditions.

• Establish a new cooperative and collaborative approach to wildfire management that includes all levels of government—Indigenous, local, and federal.

• Engage industry, civil society, local experts, non- government organizations, and citizens to leverage diverse resources and knowledge for adapting to landscape and wildfire challenges."
