Created by Forestproud, the American Biochar Institute, Earth Foundries, Inc., Pacific Biochar, West Biofuels, and the USDA Forest Service Wood Innovations Program, this film takes us to the West Coast to explore how wildfire mitigation and post-fire recovery efforts can create innovative wood products that benefit both forests and communities.
The film includes Earth Foundries and Falk Forestry’s work in a fire-damaged forest, where Tigercat 6040 carbonizers convert low-value woody debris from fuel reduction operations into biochar, which is then applied on site to help improve soil conditions for reforestation. This demonstrates how partnerships and practical solutions are turning today’s forest management challenges into opportunities for healthier forests and more resilient communities.
