HOPE — The District of Hope says it will be removing several Douglas fir trees at a local campground due to safety hazards and declining tree health.

In a statement, the district says the removal of several Douglas fir trees at the Coquihalla Campground will occur under the direction of a certified arborist.

The campground is located at 800 Kawkawa Lake Road in Hope.

It says the trees have been identified as declining in health and constitute an increased risk of failure.

Where possible, the district says portions of the trees will be retained as wildlife habitat, and most of the surrounding cedar trees will remain and continue to be monitored.

Following the removals, the district will begin replanting and other measures to support the health of the understory, helping ensure the area remains safe, healthy, and resilient for years to come.

“Thank you for your patience while this work is completed,” the district said.
