SUMMARY:Agricultural Biochar Demonstration & Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cascadia Conservation District for a hands-on biochar workshop designed for anyone who works with tree fruit or vineyards. You’ll see the kiln in action and observe the burn process up close as you learn how biochar is made\, how it improves air quality\, how it enhances soil health and fertility\, and how it offers a sustainable alternative to pile burning\, leaving you with a valuable soil-building amendment for your garden or farm. Register here. \n​*In case of weather or air quality concerns\, the workshop will be rescheduled to March 27th \n  \nWho should attend \n​​This field experience has been designed for orchardists interested in adding biochar production and application to their list of practices. NOTE: these practices may also be adopted by landowners doing fuels reduction work on their land and defensible space work around their homes & structures. \n  \n​​What you’ll Learn \n​We’ll be running at least one small-scale Biochar Kiln to provide hands-on experience assembling\, loading\, lighting\, fueling\, quenching\, raking\, and disassembling. On site will be a larger scale biochar kiln to illustrate a size appropriate for larger applications. A variety of soil health application approaches will be discussed – come with your questions! \n  \nWhat to wear/bring \n​Please wear: \n\n​leather gloves\n​cotton or wool clothing\, as synthetic materials can melt\n​a hat with a brim with any hair tied back and/or covered\na water bottle to stay hydrated!\n\n  \nSchedule \n\n​​10 am: Arrivals & check-in\n​​Ongoing demonstration & share-outs\n​4 pm: Break Down & Pack Up\n\n  \nMeet your Trainer \n​​Korina Stark – Korina is Founding Partner at Circular Spring and Program Director for Biochar On Site\, a community of practice focused on on-site biochar production and application. At this workshop\, she’ll lead hands-on training\, including equipment setup\, safe operation\, and efficient biochar production. \n  \nThank you to \n​This event is made possible through funding from the Washington State Conservation Commission – thank you!
