Happy Solstice
The winter solstice is a time of year when the days are shortest and the nights are longest. It is a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the new one. For those of us living in the Inland Northwest, it is also a time to consider how we can protect and conserve our natural environment.

By Adam Gebauer
We all enjoy telling stories around a campfire, but what if that campfire was also a tool to improve timber practices and reduce carbon emissions? The Lands Council partnered with the Kalispel Tribe of Indians and others on a pilot project to reduce forest fuels and transform them to beneficial biochar. These pilot burns were a chance for the forest community to come together and look at the many potentials for biochar on the landscape along with some of the limitations to large scale implementation.
