Rio Grande Conservation District is hosting a biochar demo on Tuesday, March 10th, from 9-11 AM at Rocky Mountain Timber in Del Norte. A charboss will be on-site to convert spruce into biochar, which will then be used as a soil amendment on a field in Alamosa County.

Biochar is becoming a popular practice, providing an outlet for dead and/or unwanted trees, which can then be used to increase carbon, water-holding capacity, and organic matter in soils.

You won't want to miss this! If there is enough community interest, there are possibilities for increasing biochar production in the San Luis Valley, making this practice more accessible to local producers.
