Energy independence and forest health can go hand-in-hand!
Wildfire risk across San Juan County is at an all-time high – largely due to increasingly overstocked forests. Thinning excess woody biomass from densely stocked forests can reduce wildfire risk while presenting an opportunity for local, sustainable energy production.
At this workshop, local and regional experts will highlight examples of community-based biomass energy projects throughout the Pacific Northwest and share how this emerging technology presents an affordable and green option for meeting our energy needs. Learn about the wide range of methods for converting biomass into energy to heat and power our homes, businesses and communities.
