Best Practice Biochar Workshop: From little things big things grow

Biochar is a powerful, sustainable solution for home gardeners, bush care, and bushfire hazard reduction. It enhances soil fertility, reduces water consumption, minimises invasive weeds, and improves water quality. For First Nations communities, biochar supports traditional cool burning practices while helping farmers boost soil health and resilience. Join us to explore best practices and learn how biochar can protect homes, restore native bush, and create a more sustainable future.
