VITAL AND SUSTAINABLE LOCAL ECONOMIES Document and Share the Sustainable Economic Benefits of Working Landscapes and Natural Areas
The Scott River Watershed Council will create a biochar demonstration project on private forested land in the Scott Valley. The project will demonstrate the creation of biochar using innovative large scale and efficient carbonator technology. The demonstration will reduce smoke and greenhouse gasses (GHG) from a fuel reduction treatment on over 80 acres around the City of Etna and create value-added biochar which will be provided to local agricultural producers as a soil amendment. The production of biochar will be evaluated for economic feasibility, quality, scale, and market demand. The project includes a workshop to introduce scalable biochar production and application to the region.
