Biochar is produced from organic waste streams such as wood and has been recognised by the IPCC as a land-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology. Its unique physical, chemical and biological qualities mean that it can added to soil (usually with other organics such as compost and microbes) to restore soil carbon and improve other qualities including soil structure, soil water holding capacity and soil biological fertility. In this way it can address a variety of urban natural resource management problems, resulting in cooler, more liveable and sustainable urban environments.

Join international biochar expert, Professor Stephen Joseph, at the North Perth Community Garden in this interactive workshop to learn about:

– What is biochar: its features and benefits.
– Ways to make biochar.
– How to activate biochar.
– How to use biochar in the urban environment to address soil, water and vegetation management issues.
The workshop will include demonstration of different methods for making biochar in the urban environment.
