A Burns Lake area man has been honoured with the Minister’s Award for Innovation and Excellence in Woodlot Management in the North Area.
Each year, the Ministry of Forests recognize three woodlot licensees from across the province who ensure the highest standards of stewardship and sustainability.
After 20 years in forest management, Cliff Manning of the Guyishton Woodlot in Burns Lake is being honoured for his fire mitigation efforts.
Those efforts included: using an excavator to remove debris, working on a modified stock standard to reduce tree spacing, and increasing the number of deciduous trees on the woodlot.
Over the years, Manning has played an integral role in expanding the diversity of tree species in the Burns Lake area.
C&H Forest Products in the Fraser Valley took home the province-wide award.
