Join us for a talk by Nate Anderson from the U.S. Forest Service, who will untangle many truths and some myths about biochar production and use, with an emphasis on practical, place-based solutions to help implement biochar systems locally at the nexus of forestry and agriculture.

Biochar is a special type of charcoal that can be used as a soil amendment. It can improve soil properties such as water-holding capacity, organic matter content, bulk density, microbial activity, and nutrient retention, which can lead to better plant growth. Biochar systems also help manage biomass waste, including slash from forestry and orchard operations, and can store carbon from the atmosphere in the soil, generating greenhouse gas benefits.

This presentation is free and open to the public. Contact Bridger with any questions.
