SUMMARY:Fuel for Wisconsin’s Charcoal Iron Industry
DESCRIPTION:Charcoal is a traditional forest product and once was a crucial part of Wisconsin’s economy\, providing fuel for many of the state’s iron furnaces. Production occurred in pits and kilns\, using interesting methods and wood technology. There were hundreds of charcoal kilns of various types scattered across Wisconsin\, mostly along railroads\, and they became local landmarks. Farmers clearing land for crop production appreciated the market created for their wood\, but local forestry impacts followed the charcoal burners. \n \nPresented by Thomas J. Straka\, Ph.D. — Thomas J. Straka is a professor emeritus of forestry at Clemson University in South Carolina. He is a Wisconsin native and University of Wisconsin-Madison forestry graduate. His background is forest economics and policy\, including forest history. \n  \nRegister in advance for this webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_2_oAVvgJQiSoLGGVwtA97g\nPlease note: The webinar is Free\, but pre-registration is required.
