The extreme fire hazard in the Alberni Valley has prompted the regional district to close many of its trails, including the Inlet Trail, Log Train Trail, and Mount Arrowsmith Regional Park.
In a news release the Alberni Clayoquot Regional District says the closure is due to the recent hot and dry weather and the need to minimize the demand for firefighting services.
Private logging roads could also be closed to help prevent forest fires, and people are asked to obey the complete campfire and outdoor burning ban in and around the valley.
