Join Forces, Use Mushrooms to Protect Waterways from Toxic Wildfire Runoff

After a devastating wildfire season, a grassroots coalition of neighbors and community organizations has come together to protect ecosystems and waterways around Santa Cruz County. CoRenewal, a 501(c)3 non-profit focused on ecological restoration and bioremediation research, is organizing an innovative study on solutions to address this urgent environmental and public health issue. In addition to their research, CoRenewal has joined forces with the Resource Conservation Department as well as with local groups like the Wildfire Protectors Corps and Santa Cruz Relief to coordinate workdays with teams of volunteers.
