Burning for Tomorrow

Kilns and Broadcast Burning

Combining treatment techniques from many methods of Traditional to NWCG

Focusing on soil organic carbon increasing outcomes whenever fire touches a landscape

Fire on the Ground

Biochar in the Ground

Burning together brings us together. CHAR-RX is rooted in that understanding. Our goal is to get biochar implementation on the fire-line when burn plans are constructed. We feel tactical execution of generating stable crystalline carbon during RX burns is paramount to a truly fire resilient eco-system. 

Why?

If you have participated in a broadcast burn, or perhaps planned, or lead one yourself, we all have something in common. Heavies. lots of heavies, branches sticks and slash. Most of the time they're burnt off as "jackpot piles" or "charred "bone pile". 

Jackpot's & Bone's?

This is where the CHAR-RX burn model comes into play. Rather than torching that material off as ash and generating a burn scar, we either participate during the burn op and mop up later, or tidy up the burn site before a broadcast burn is initiated and is written into the plan.

Key Implementers 

OBS provides field-based biomass conversion, fire fuels reduction, and biochar services for agriculture, forestry, and land management. Mobile biochar systems that transform agricultural and forest residues into regenerative soil assets

The Cohasset Ridge Prescribed Burn Association is a community-led group dedicated to bringing neighbors together to safely reintroduce good fire to the landscape. Through shared effort and local leadership, the PBA helps reduce wildfire risk, restore forest health, and build a more fire-adapted community. By working side by side, members gain the knowledge, skills, and support needed to protect their land and strengthen the resilience of Cohasset Ridge.

The Healthy Forest Alliance Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring forest and landscape health, reducing wildfire risk, and supporting the people and communities who steward fire-adapted environments. Rooted in science, experience, and collaboration, the Foundation advances practical, on-the-ground solutions that strengthen ecosystems while protecting lives, property, and critical infrastructure. Fire is a natural and essential ecological process. Decades of fire exclusion, changing land-use patter

KOrganics is a Northern California-based regenerative agriculture practitioner, biochar specialist, and founder of KOrganics. His work focuses on restoring soil health, strengthening local ecosystems, and building practical, community-scale solutions for land stewardship.

 

Sounds Interesting?

It sure is to us! Reducing emission, burning hotter, and sequestering amorphous carbon presents many unique opportunities to augment current practices. Many see the benefits of burning in an enclosed apparatus for safety alone, combining  the ability to generate several yards of crystalline carbon, with onsite materials  is also appealing. Especially for forest and watershed health.

Interested in being apart of these burns or crew? Check out our event page & calendar, or drop us an email. As we grow this model and increase capacity we can do more and will need your help!  Make sure to check out our affiliates links for more job opportunities and burn dates, sign up for the CRPBA or join the Healthy Forest Alliance Foundation.
