EFRU Speaker Event: Soil Recovery After the LA Fires: How Bioremediation Can Help

On Monday 3/16 @ 7pm-8:30pm, this talk will aim to demystify bioremediation while clarifying common misconceptions about nature-based approaches to soil cleanup. Ecological remediation uses fungi, plants, and beneficial soil microbes to stabilize, transform, or help remove contaminants from soil. Drawing on local case studies using native plants and fungi for brownfield and residential soil remediation in LA, as well as post-fire mycofiltration studies conducted in Northern California, Dr. Danielle Stevenson of the Centre for Applied Ecological Remediation (CAER) will discuss how ecological remediation strategies may support recovery from post-fire soil contamination. The webinar will also outline CAER’s free and low-cost remediation services, provide guidance on how to evaluate which remediation approaches may be appropriate for different sites, and include time for questions and discussion with residents. Register here.
