Join OR Dept. of Forestry for demonstrations to raise awareness of ACIs as a tool to reduce pollution, reduce fuel loads, utilize woody biomass, and create biochar, a valuable soil amendment that adds carbon to soil or compost and holds moisture, nutrients, microbes, and can even lock away harmful pollutants and other chemicals.

 

ACI demonstrations are for fire departments, municipalities, natural area land managers, Firewise communities, prescribed burn associations, nurseries, orchards, vineyards, arborists and tree care companies, citizens and land owners, and any anyone that has to manage woody biomass looking for alternative to chipping or pile burning.   

During these demonstrations attendees will learn about and discuss:

• What is and ACI and how do they work 
• What types of ACIs are available on the market 
• What types of materials can be burned in an ACI 
• Locations and types of projects ACIs are appropriate for
• Safety considerations when operating an ACI 
• Permits, licenses, and notifications for proper ACI operation
• When to hire a contractor vs purchase equipment
• What is biochar, how is it created, and how can it be used
• Smoke and air pollution reduction vs open burn or pile burn
