On November 24th, The Lands Council and Dishman Hills Conservancy hosted a Biochar Burn demonstration at the Dishman Hill’s new land acquisition, The Wilson Conservation Area. The Lands Council’s new, and much larger, polygon kiln was utilized for the first time, providing a glimpse of how burns can be scaled up in the future. Lands Council and Dishman Hills supporters gathered to learn about this fascinating process and the benefit of Biochar. The slash pile burned hot and fast, resulting in about twelve 5-gallon buckets of biochar. We are grateful for the support and partnerships that made this burn possible.
