Biochar Industries.
Welcome to the new paradigm.
Biochar Industries is a working 3000 acre natural and plantation forest under the stewardship of char-master Dolph Cooke. Based in Kunghur northern NSW Australia.
The Van Dam
Since the old style forestry industry became unsustainable, plantation forests all over Australia have been neglected. Some have been left to fate while others have been completely bulldozed. The ABC show Landline, showcased the forest industry breakdown and revealed the extent of the problem in Australia since the scheme collapsed.
