The Fire for Healthy Soils project, launched by Wildsight in 2025, investigates wood waste conversion into biochar to improve soil health and mitigate wildfire risks. This initiative, supported by the Creston Community Forest and the Regional District of Central Kootenay, employs a Youth Climate Corps crew to clear woody debris and produce biochar for trials on local farms and composting facilities.
As climate-related challenges increase, the project aims to provide solutions for moisture retention and ecosystem resilience, potentially establishing a circular economy model. Success could drive replication in similar rural areas, enhancing sustainable practices across forestry and agriculture.
