BNNZ has shared some ideas related avoiding some of the environmental impacts associated with the biomass residue removal process that is underway in Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay and other parts of NZ affected by Cyclone Gabrielle. This document has been shared with officials dealing with the cleanup but it remains to be seen if any of the suggestions fall on fertile ground (or get smothered in silt!)

BNNZ had their bi-monthly committee meeting last night and it was agreed to bring forward the next ‘members lounge’ discussion with a focus on biochar & biomass residue management. Keep a lookout for the notice and reach out if you want an invitation but are not a current BNNZ member.
