"An umbrella term for allying with living organisms along with other regenerative tools, to immobilize, extract, consume, and/or breakdown toxins in soil and water in order to repair polluted ecosystems and support community health."
Remediation means to return. It's using our human powers for good, bringing living organisms - fungi, plants, bacteria, and other microbes - to clean contaminated environments, and to support the indigenous microbes present in the soil. These organisms work together in complex systems to break down pollutants, transforming toxic substances into harmless compounds. This approach repairs polluted ecosystems and supports community health.
Fungi are nature's ultimate recyclers. Since time immemorial, mushrooms have played an important, dynamic and place-based role in the lives of humans. All around the world, fungi are gathered, consumed, and utilized in ceremonies, acting as a bridge to the rest of the natural world.
Incredibly versatile, fungi can be used to heal both human bodies and natural landscapes polluted by heavy metals and other toxic contaminants. Fungi can also be used as tinder, dyes, and utensils for making art. Working with these beings in this way make bioremediation an all-encompassing practice.
We believe in making bioremediation accessible to communities. Through education, hands-on workshops, and partnerships with tribal organizations and grassroots groups, we're building capacity for community-led environmental restoration.
Our work centers Indigenous knowledge and decolonizing approaches to land healing. We prioritize community engagement, Indigenous sovereignty, and non-extractive approaches to environmental work.
