The project is part of ongoing fuel management treatment to promote forest health by removing trees affected by spruce beetles, and to mitigate the risk of wildfires in interface areas.

Trap trees are trees that are cut down and deliberately left lying on the ground to attract adult spruce beetles in the spring. The BCWS says that beetles are more likely to infest a trap tree than standing trees, helping reduce the spruce beetles attacks on healthy trees nearby.
