Summer Updates from the Logan Lake Community Forest

Since our Summer 2026 newsletter was prepared, wildfire conditions in and around our region have changed. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the current wildfire activity, as well as the crews, first responders and community members working to keep people and communities safe.

The newsletter reflects the work and conditions at the time it was published and provides a snapshot of the ongoing efforts taking place across the Logan Lake Community Forest, including work to strengthen wildfire resilience, support healthy forests and plan for the future.

Wildfire risk reduction has long been one of the Community Forest’s highest priorities. Work highlighted in the newsletter includes landscape fuel corridors and fuel treatments in the Face/Paska, Kamloops and Logan Lake areas, along with planning for future projects intended to reduce wildfire intensity, slow fire spread and improve conditions for wildfire response. The Community Forest also supports the local Youth Fuel Management Team, providing young people with valuable work experience while contributing to wildfire risk reduction.

The newsletter also highlights a busy season of forest management. This spring, 747,891 seedlings were planted, primarily in areas affected by the Tremont Wildfire, while harvesting and fuel-management projects continue to support healthier, more resilient forests. Planning is also underway for the Community Forest’s first prescribed burn, currently anticipated for spring 2027.

Recreation remains another important priority. A new 15-year Logan Lake and Area Trails Strategy provides a long-term vision for developing, improving and maintaining local trails while protecting the natural environment.

And community forestry is about people, too. This year, the Community Forest awarded $1,500 bursaries to Cole Campbell and Bryson Cowell, is developing priorities for its next five-year Strategic Plan, and continues to create opportunities for residents to learn more and get involved.
