Episode 11 of Char Chit Chat features a chat with Dale from the Bay of Plenty area of New Zealand. Dale is an ecologist with a strong interest in tree systems and biochar. We delve into his hands-on, low budget methods of making biochar from tree branches on the family farm. Dale has started his own business called Rivendale Wood where he sells products from the treed landscape of the farm.
We also talk about Hazelnut tree production that his Dad has been doing since the 1980s, Dale's favourite and efficient way of making biochar, and his thinking behind people taking action to mitigate climate change.
