Welcome to IBI's first monthly newsletter. IBI has had some exciting
changes in the past year and the 2008 Conference in Newcastle, UK is just a
month away. The articles below provide a short synopsis of recent news.
We will send monthly newsletters which will also be cataloged on the IBI
website. Each newsletter will contain links to news and events, biochar
articles, project information, and a write up on a project or practitioner
in the field. If you have information to contribute or would like your
project to be featured, please contact us at info@...=
.
*Upcoming 2008 IBI Conference in Newcastle, UK *
*September 8 - 10, 2008
*
The 2008 Conference is just a month away. We have had four times the amoun=
t
of abstract submissions for presentations as last year's conference, twice
as many registrants, and a lot more publicity. With three full days of
presentations, events, and discussions, this year's conference is a
must-attend event.
The leaders in the biochar field will be presenting and attending the
conference. Tim Flannery will be giving a public lecture, the poster
session alone will have over 80 presentations, there will be a full day for
break out discussions, and we will all have a chance to sing the "Biochar
Blues".
If you have not yet registered, there is still room. A link to conference
information which includes registration, updated agendas, information on
travel and lodging, sponsors, and keynote speakers can be found at:

conference and included in next month's newsletter. The group was also abl=
e
to visit two biochar production sites in Virginia and West Virginia.
IBI announces the following new Board positions:
Johannes Lehmann, Chairman of the Board
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
Stephen Joseph, Vice-Chairman of the Board and Technical Director

*Listen to and Sing the Biochar Blues

IBI Technical Director and Vice Chairman of the Board Stephen Joseph has
recently penned the Biochar Blues.
The blues were written with help from David Roth, Roia Rafieyan, Diana Neri=
,
Claudia Lees, Nick Jackson and Jennifer French and sung by Roia Rafieyan.
IBI plans to sing the blues at the Newcastle Conference next month. To hea=

Exhibit on Soils*
The new exhibit at the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum in Washington
DC, "Dig It: The Secrets of Soils" features a monolith of typical Terra
Preta soil complete with char layers and pottery shards. IBI Chairman of
the Board, Johannes Lehmann, worked with the Smithsonian Museum to ensure
that this important example of soil was included in the exhibit. To see
