Biomass plants use very efficient technolo gies, which burn the wood at such high tem peratures that it creates less smoke and fewer pollutants. At the La Pine Industrial Park, Silvan Power Co. is hoping to build a biomass-fueled power plant that would generate 24 megawatts o f power. And in Prineville, a sawmill recently received a grant to build a lumber-drying kiln that is fired by wood products. The Confederated Tribes o f Warm Springs have also been working on a biomass power plant Workshops on child welfare The Indian Child Welfare As sociation is hosting three work shops in Portland in October. The workshops are: Indian Child Welfare Association advanced workshop; Meth in tribal child welfare; and reconciliation in child welfare. This workshop series isdesigned specifically for child welfare workers and ad ministrators in Indian Country.

With fossil-fuel prices rising, along with an awareness o f the harm that burning them causes, more people are looking to renewable energy sources — including biomass, said Scott Aycock, a program administrator for the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council. “With biomass specifically, I think the reason why it’s attractive in rural Oregon, especially ru ral Central Oregon, is it’s taking advantage o f a resource that we have in abundance these days,” he said. That resource is the small-diameter trees that land managers often want to thin from forests, since they increase the risk o f severe wildfires and harm forest health.
