Stuwix Resources Joint Venture

Stuwix continues to assess and engineer burnt stands impacted by the Ainslie Creek Fire in the Upper Prospect and Hooshum Watersheds for salvage harvesting this Winter. To date, crews have visited +-260ha of high severity burn areas to salvage the Spruce, Pine and Balsam that will significant degrade (checking/cracking) if not harvested prior to next Summer. Salvaging in a timely manner, while respecting the water and wildlife values that have been severely impacted allows for watershed rehabilitation to start sooner with some of the areas planned for planting in 2027 with the rest in 2028, as seedlings inventories allow. +-40ha of moderate to low severity burn has been visited that will be monitored over the next 9 months to determine if it survives or not.

Ever since the Ainslie creek fire reached the perimeters of the Merritt area, Stuwix and our contractors has been working closely with BCWS and Communities to ensure fireguard layout and construction meets expectations and timely removal of fuels in the Patchett and Prospect creek areas. Washouts from the 2021 flooding caused access issues for BCWS so Stuwix was also able to work accordingly installing temporary crossings to allow firefighters and heavy equipment to access the fire.

Stuwix has been working with Klassen Group (formally known as Valley Carriers Ltd) for the last 3 years bush grinding debris piles post-harvest turning into hog fuel which is then hauled to their yard in Merritt. The 2025 season we ground approx. 60% of our debris piles vs burning and continue to increase that number as much as possible. This video was taken on Thynne Mtn on Coldwater Indian Band license.
