A workshop is being held in Cranbrook on Monday, Oct 4 on the feasibility of fueling heating systems using wood of marginal commercial value. Interface fire prescriptions and ongoing eco-restoration projects produce a lot of wood which is not commercially viable. The use of this "scrap" wood to heat buildings is an idea gaining in popularity. It would allow us to be less dependent on foreign markets and provide a real opportunity to create industry here in the East Kootenays. Both Revelstoke and Montana have actively become involved in bio fuel projects. Montana is heating many schools with bio fuel producing significant savings.
The Columbia Basin Trust, BC Bioenergy Network, SCR Management, RW Gray Consulting and Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program are sponsoring the event which costs $30.00. Call Dan Murphy 250-421-9329 to register.
