ODF to host live ‘air curtain incinerator’ demonstration burn in Talent

The free demo will show an alternative option to chipping or pile burning that produces less smoke and particulate matter After a harvest or pruning of a woodland, vineyard, or orchard, there are often large amounts of woody debris left over. Trying to decide what to do with all of that material is one thing, but waiting too long will create the perfect habitat for pest insects that can do great damage to standing timber or crops. Many landowners are turning to Air Curtain Incinerators (ACI) to help manage the leftover woody debris. An ACI is a specialized piece of equipment that burns woody biomass. Burning in an ACI produces much less smoke and particulate matter than an open burn pile. On Tuesday, Nov. 17, the Oregon Department of Forestry is hosting a live ACI demo. This demo will be held at the Plant Oregon Nursery, 8651 Wagner Creek Road in Talent. Attendees are welcome to drop in from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
