Biochar and Burn-Pile Workshop

Registration link: https://lu.ma/vd62mfv3

​Join the Cascadia Prescribed Burn Association at the Wenatchee River Institute in Leavenworth to learn how to turn branches and wood from creating defensible space or pruning into a valuable soil amendment – while sequestering carbon and limiting smoke in the air – with a simple, fire-pit sized kiln! We will also have a larger kiln (appropriate for larger properties outside the Leavenworth Urban Growth Area) available for viewing.

​Please feel free to forward this event to local friends and neighbors so you all can benefit from better air quality, reduced wildfire risk, and improved soils.

​Schedule
​Check-in & Kiln Loading: 9 am
​Ignition: 9:30 am

​There will be multiple biochar-related topics for us to cover in-between kiln loadings, with plenty of time for Q&A along the way – bring your questions and your curiosity!

​Details & Safety
​The check-in area will be at the covered picnic benches south of the main parking lot.

​We request all attendees to review and sign waivers to help ensure a safe environment for working with fire. Even if you’re only observing, please wear a hat, long sleeves & pants from natural materials like cotton.

​While the Cascadia Prescribed Burn Association will graciously be providing some light refreshments, please plan on bringing plenty of water and a sack lunch.

​Restrooms are available on the property in the Red Barn, a short walk from the demonstration site area.
