Service
Post-Fire Rehabilitation and Watershed Protection
BAER support, emergency watershed protection, erosion control installation, hazard tree removal in burn areas and native replanting.
The window after a fire is short. Evergreen Forestry Group has performed recovery work following the Carr, Camp, LNU Complex, Fawn, Salt, Dixie and Archie Creek fires, stabilizing burned ground before the first significant rain events and clearing the hazards that block everyone else's work.
Problems this service solves
- Destabilized soils and high runoff risk after canopy loss
- Fire-killed trees threatening roads, corridors and crews
- Downstream flooding and sedimentation exposure
- Invasive species establishing in disturbed ground
Scope of work
- Support for Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) teams with immediate stabilization measures
- Emergency watershed protection to reduce erosion, flooding and downstream impacts
- Erosion control installation: wattles, mulch and seeding
- Support for aerial mulching operations on severely burned landscapes
- Hazard tree identification and removal within burn areas
- Reforestation and replanting using native species
