[USCC] Using Compost for Revegetation after a Fire?

[Tim Howard]

Pacific Forage Bag Supply and and Denbow out of Vancouver, BC have been
working on restoration after construction at the 2010 Olympic site in
Whislter, BC.  While it is not after a fire, the principles and purpose
are the same and they have been very successful at controlling erosion
and restoring vegetative cover.  The link below is the Olympic PR on the
project.
