I learned about biochar through my participation in a wood waste pilot project (using wood wast from slash piles to create biochar ). And then realized that it... is also part of our sewage treatment project plan. Pretty great to see a local company actualizing the circular economy! Thanks to this grant, we will be able to further develop our initial findings regarding a novel use for biochar, a carbon-negative material that is most commonly used to increase soil health, by increasing water retention, decreasing nutrient loss, and increasing microbial abundance and diversity, said Nyoka founder/CEO Paige Whitehead, a Comox resident.

Cowichan Valley Earth Guardians.
