In addition, there will be no public access to the area, with the only exceptions being for Tsilhqot’in community members, licensed commercial operators and guided clients, residents and families.
Tsilhqot’in title land rangers will be monitoring and enforcing the area and ensuring the fire ban and closure is acknowledged and respected.
