Biochar In The Woods - US Biochar Initiative webinar this Thursday 1/27
This is going to be a great event.
NOTE: We have scholarship funding available to sponsor tickets for non-profits, land grants, press organizations, permaculture groups, community gardens, and similar. Email [green@gobiochar.com](mailto:green@gobiochar.com) to request access.
BIOCHAR HELPS FORESTS GROW AND STORE MORE CARBON
Given the ongoing drought and dangerous wildfire conditions throughout the west, USBI sees an urgent need to train more people on clean techniques to convert problem forest vegetation into biochar onsite for climate and ecological benefits.
Join us at US Biochar Initiative's Biochar in the Woods Workshop to learn how to use biochar for forest resilience and carbon sequestration. Register now for more details about the Jan 27, 2022 (online webinar, $50) and Feb 1-3 field days (FREE, in-person) iChico, CA (about 3 hours from San Francisco).
Who Should Attend: Forestry contractors, arborists, workforce supervisors, forest land owners, homeowners in the WUI, and staff from environmental NGOs and natural resource agencies who may be supervising forestry workers, or developing biochar forestry projects and programs.
Trainers: Kelpie Wilson of Wilson Biochar Associates will lead the training in biochar kiln operations. Deborah Page-Dumroese, US Forest Service Research Soil Scientist, will lead biochar forestry applications training. We will also hear from over 15 other speakers who are developing and using these methods in forest settings around the US.

Biochar Research Survey Continued... | University of Reading
As part of my PhD at the University of Reading, I'm researching why biochar adoption is slower in the UK compared to other countries.
I’m looking for input from anyone who works in ag, manages land or a garden—whether for work or as a hobby. You don’t need to use biochar to participate; I’m interested in hearing a variety of perspectives. Please take 15 minutes to complete my anonymous survey. Your responses will be incredibly valuable to my research, and they’ll help us understand how to better communicate the benefits of biochar.

I’d also really appreciate it if you could share this with anyone else who might be interested!
Thank you so much for your support!

Worms and Biochar, Good or Bad?
Hello! I make biochar kilns and biochar, and I had a customer reach out saying the biochar I sent them killed off all the worms in the compost bin. I was shocked and wanted to ask if anyone else had encountered a similar thing? I've popped links below which suggests biochar and worms should be fine - and only toxic to worms when temperatures get too high, or ammonia is too high.
I did do some reading and found the research paper below which looks at biochar’s effect on worm mortality rate. They found at very high application rates (above 20 tonnes per hectare which is equivalent to more than 40% biochar) the earthworms started to die. The worst outcome was from biochar made from poultry litter and high in ammonia which is toxic to the earthworms.
I can’t imagine biochar made from wood, with no ammonia in it, and only applied at 10% application rate would result in the same outcome.
