B-C's Forests Ministry says it is providing 19-million dollars in funding for 64 projects aimed at reducing wildfire risk and enhancing forest health.
It says those projects will take place in all eight national resource regions and includes 31 initiatives led by First Nations.
Minister Ravi Kahlon says the funding will go toward removing 11-thousand truckloads of flammable waste from forest floors as part of an effort to reduce wildfire risks across B-C.
The province says the funding is part of the 90-million dollars allocated for wildfire-prevention initiatives.
