What: A combination of live, online and in-field presentations and demonstrations on making and using biochar on site in the forest and WUI (Wildland Urban Interface). Why: Given the ongoing drought and dangerous wildfire conditions in California and throughout the west, we see an urgent need to train more people on clean techniques for converting problem forest vegetation into biochar onsite. Biochar can increase the water-holding capacity and resilience of forest soils. Trainers: Kelpie Wilson of Wilson Biochar Associates will lead…
