Biochar Burn Demonstration and Small Acreage Woodland Tour

Saturday, June 29th 8:00am-3:00pm at a small acreage residence in Ridgefield, WA.

Come take part in the biochar burn with a Ring of Fire Biochar Kiln, which is ideal for making biochar on your own small acreage with small diameter wood from your own woodland. Biochar is a type of charcoal that is burned at a specific temperature range and with limited oxygen. Biochar has many benefits as a soil amendment, including: retaining moisture; sequestering carbon; and when combined with nutrients, such as compost, it can offer long-term soil fertility improvements. The biochar burn setup will begin promptly at 8am. When the burn is finished (likely between 11am-2pm) we will begin an hour-long tour of the woodland and learn about best management practices for watershed and small acreage woodland health. Pre-registration costs $10.00 per household https://biochar2024.brownpapertickets.com or walk-ins/drop-ins are welcome for $15 (by cash or check only) per household at 21312 NW 17th Ct. Ridgefield, WA 98642. If you have questions, please contact terry.koper@wsu.edu.
