Waste to Resource: Modified Johnson-Su Bioreactor Field Day
This field day is offered in collaboration with the Upper Gila Watershed Alliance’s New Earth Project; a community program that combines leftover food from school cafeterias with shredded wood from local silviculture projects as inputs in a modified Johnson-Su bioreactor. The New Earth Project encompasses education and youth employment initiatives.
Get hands-on experience by filling the modified bioreactor, examine the soil food web under a microscope, learn about the innovative bioreactor tractor, a ‘ring of fire,’ and how a biochar energy system heats a greenhouse. A delicious, locally sourced lunch will be provided free of charge. This workshop will fill up fast!
When: Friday, November 14, 2025, at 9am – 4:30pm
Where: New Earth Project Site, Silver City, NM
