Prescribed burn planned near Radium
Parks Canada is planning a prescribed burn in the Redstreak Mountain area of the park for some time this fall.
A 235-hectare area burn is planned near Radium Hot Springs, adjacent to Redstreak Campground in south Kootenay National Park.
“The purpose of the Redstreak Mountain burn is to protect people and property from wildfires by reducing forest fuel loads in the vicinity of Radium Hot Springs, and to restore grasslands and associated habitat traditionally used by Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep and other wildlife,” Parks Canada explained on its website.
