[Terrapreta] Charcoal agriculture: not ready for prime time

[Richard Haard]

Last summer there were some severe forest fires in the northern part  
of the east slope of the cascades in Washington State. I'm heading  
over there in a few weeks to look for charcoal (and morel mushrooms,  
and wildflowers) at 6 to 7000 foot elevation. A forest worker friend  
told me  the log staging areas the fire smolders all winter under the  
snow. Would be interesting to find 'pockets of char and document them.

Will report back
