EVIDENCE

POPULATION DESCRIPTION

We are working with the Tribal Communities on the KCA and WCD reservations in Western Oklahoma. Many of the rule areas have been deeply impacted from COVID as many are in gaged in food service, restaurants and hotel maintenance. We also work with those previously incarcerated members of the area.

PERFORMANCE MEASURING

The project will be measured by the number of pounds of Bio Char produced and spread onto farm land in the state. Also the amount of matching funds we receive from UDSA in the invasive species eradication program as we will remove these before we apply Bio Char. Lastly by the number of crop acres we replant after having applied the Bio-Char.
