Woody Biomass Emissions Sutdy Available.

Greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions of alternatives for woody biomass residues.

The forests of the Pacific Northwest have historically fueled the economy of the region. Yet there has been no data on the impacts of using the woody forest materials left after harvest as fuel. Until now.

The results of that study are now available.

Soils for Salmon

The Soils for Salmon project, begun by WORC in 1999, has spread awareness that the health of salmon and all our water resources depends on how we treat the soil, especially in developing urban and suburban areas. The project promotes "BMP's" (best management practices) for protecting native soil and restoring disturbed soils with compost.
