Learning Objectives:
- Define biochar and explain its properties and origin.
- Describe the benefits of biochar for improving soil health in urban environments.
- Explain how biochar contributes to long-term tree health and sustainability in limited soil volumes.
- Identify practical applications of biochar in arboriculture and urban forestry.

Course Description:
In this webinar we will focus on biochar and how it can be utilized in the urban setting. Biochar is becoming more widely used due to its organic nature and benefits to the soil, which is critically important in the urban setting. With soil volumes becoming smaller, arborists are now tasked with ensuring soils stay healthy for long term tree success and biochar can help.
