Practicing Landscape Fire Management

This technical report introduces Landscape Fire Management as a crucial, integrated approach to addressing escalating wildfire risks while restoring ecosystem health. LFM is presented as a paradigm shift, moving beyond localized efforts to encompass broader landscapes by coordinating various land management activities and setting complementary wildland fire objectives across different land-use zones. The document outlines six core principles for effective LFM practice: defining the landscape, understanding current and future conditions, assessing risks to values, setting cohesive objectives, coordinating interventions, and continuously learning through adaptive management. This report aims to guide diverse land managers in British Columbia towards a more resilient coexistence with fire by detailing strategies like fuel breaks, fire-tolerant stands, and managing fuel loads.
