Forest to Field Fund:
Protecting Our Summers.
One burn. Three wins:
Less wildfire fuel, carbon removed for good, and healthier local soil.
Our Goal:
$150,000
This fall's $150,000 goal is Year One of our five-year, $750,000 Forest to Fields Fund — the capital that carries our team through wildfire season and deploys the first cohort of five community biochar operators. It's the proof that turns a working model into a growing network.
How it Works
1. We turn waste wood into biochar. Trained local land stewards use flame-cap kilns to convert slash and prunings — wood that would otherwise be burned in open piles or fuel a wildfire — into stable biochar.
2. The carbon is removed — permanently. That carbon is locked away for centuries, verified and issued as carbon-removal credits. We've already proven the full chain.
3. The soil comes back to life. Returned to local fields, biochar improves water retention and grows healthier ground — keeping the value right here in our bioregion.
This isn't an idea —
It's working now.
“Biochar + compost is the single most important tool we have for building healthy soils on our farm…
Thank you KCT for bringing this technology to our attention and spreading the practice of biochar across our bioregion.”

Every gift protects our summers.
$1,000 underwrites a community burn workshop — training practitioners and producing biochar for local soil.
$10,000 deploys a complete operator node — kiln, training, and carbon documentation — removing ~232 tonnes of CO₂ over ten years.
Any amount moves us toward $150,000 — and during the campaign, gifts are matched, so yours goes further.
