Slash for Cash

Slash for Cash, a project by The Tolaga Bay Heritage Charitable Trust (TBHCT), aims to revitalize Tairawhiti and Wairoa regional lands post-cyclone Gabrielle by transforming wood debris waste into useful biochar products like organic biochar fertilizer and smokeless charcoal briquettes, creating sustainable solutions while generating employment opportunities for the local East Coast community in New Zealand. The organization's organic biochar fertilizer improves soil health on public and private lands, gardens, farm lands, orchards and forestry fields, providing nutrient retention and water retention for erosion-prone areas. Their low-cost mobile carbonization kilns create employment opportunities and generate economic growth.
