Help Prevent Wildfires By Exercising Added Caution
The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) would like to remind visitors to take steps to help prevent fires.
Due to the ongoing, extremely dry conditions, local communities and visitors must do what they can to prevent fires from starting locally. There are currently no wildfires in the immediate vicinity of the Ganaraska Forest, though there are several burning in neighbouring jurisdictions.
Current fire bans / restrictions for most of the region, including all of Northumberland County, the City of Kawartha Lakes and Municipality of Clarington, among others, are in place to help prevent wildfires from starting. Everyone must do their part to help prevent local fires.
Under the Conservation Authorities Act, both residents and visitors are reminded that open flames, campfires, barbecues, fireworks and other sources of fire are not permitted on GRCA properties, Conservation Areas or in the Ganaraska Forest at any time.
