Burning wood can create more than smoky summers and cozy winters by the stove. Roasted
trees, shrubs and other plants can also be used to amend soils, store carbon and reduce
hazardous fuels in forests through a product called biochar. This summer, two professors
are teaching farmers in Alaska how to make and use biochar and how it might affect
soil health. Read more on workshops and a webinar the professors are holding.
New Student Orientation is officially one month away! The Center for Student Engagement
will collect items for our new student bags until Aug. 8. If your office or department
has any extra swag or info you want to present to the incoming class, drop it off
at Wood Center Suite 101C. Get more info on the quantity of items to provide for the bags.
