On Haida Gwaii wildfires have become a threat to our forests as we experience a rise in temperatures and an increase of droughts or dry spells. During the summer season unattended beach fires or campfires can impose a large risk to our forests. To address these issues, numerous approaches, including improved forest management, prevention measures, early warning systems, and firefighting capabilities, are used. Taan Forest collaborates with local authorities and the British Columbia Wildfire Service to provide support in fire suppression efforts and promote coordinated responses.

Taan Forest is postponing the Taan Information sessions to allow time for our videographer to complete the visuals for the information session and to provide space for Haidas attending the Dr. Gabor Maté Trauma Workshop. Please watch our social media for new dates. Háw’aa/haawa
