It may have snowed for last year’s April Showers Auction, but that did not stop Lands Council members from showing up with their party pants on and selling out our first event since 2019. This year, we are back in a bigger location and looking forward to seeing all of our friends and supporters!

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.

Sequestering Carbon Through Conversation and Community Burning: Converting Forest Fuels to Biochar
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.
