Island's Mosaic Forest Management unveils 2025 Wildfire Prevention Strategy

  • Following a fire that expanded to three hectares on its private property in early May, Mosaic Forest Management has unveiled its strategy for wildfire preparedness in 2025.
  • The plan responds to 41 wildfires on Mosaic land, 70% caused by human activities such as open burning, vehicle use, and fireworks, and 30% by lightning.
  • Mosaic committed to reducing person-caused fires by restricting backcountry recreational access, imposing campfire bans on public campsites, and staging 100 all-terrain fire trucks.
  • Steve Mjaaland, Mosaic's forest protection manager, said, "Uncertainty is the only certainty when it comes to wildfire" while emphasizing daily aerial surveillance, trained crews, and stocked equipment depots.
  • Mosaic’s strategy focuses on strengthening all defense measures to protect local communities, natural areas, and assets, while collaborating closely with regional wildfire authorities.
