Parks Canada is thinning forests in Banff to reduce wildfire risk, protecting communities and ecosystems.
Parks Canada will continue thinning forests around Banff National Park to reduce wildfire risk by removing trees and underbrush to create firebreaks and lower fuel loads.
The effort, part of a long-term strategy to address growing fire threats from climate change, aims to protect communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems.
Conducted with input from Indigenous communities, scientists, and fire experts, the work prioritizes ecological sustainability and public safety.
While some environmental concerns remain, Parks Canada says thinning is carefully planned to minimize harm and is not intended to stop all fires, but to limit their intensity and spread.
The program will continue with adjustments based on ongoing risk assessments.
