Biochar: Soil Health, Sustainability & Local Impact

with Peter Hurst

Friday, November 7th, 2025

6:30 – 7:30 pm

Join us in the second-floor meeting room of the Great Stone Dwelling for an enlightening presentation on Biochar with Peter Hurst, presented in partnership with the Enfield Conservation Commission and Enfield Shaker Museum.

Discover what biochar is, how it supports soil health, fertility, and composting, and why it’s gaining attention as a sustainable solution for environmental management and carbon sequestration. Peter will explore the science behind biochar and its exciting potential right here in Enfield.

This session is the first in a hands-on classroom series exploring the practical uses of biochar — including how to create it yourself. Future sessions will be held in various locations, including outdoor settings, to complement the learning experience.

Peter Hurst is an active member of the Enfield Conservation Commission and several other environmental organizations. He has a passion for the land and it’s longevity.
