Rebuilding from the Ground Up - Together

The Fire-Resilient Bioremediation and Landscape Recovery Consortium unites community leaders, scientists, and residents to transform wildfire recovery in Los Angeles County. Through nature-based soil remediation, workforce training, and equitable recovery strategies, we're proving that communities can heal their land, protect public health, and build lasting resilience - without displacement.

Science-backed. Community-led. Built to scale.

About the Consortium

Led by Resilient Palisades, Centre for Applied Ecological Remediation (CAER), and Eaton Fire Residents United, the Fire-Resilient Bioremediation Consortium unites grassroots organizing, scientific expertise, and lived experience from fire-impacted communities. Together with partner organizations across Los Angeles, we're building a recovery model that centers community leadership, advances environmental justice, and proves that equitable, nature-based solutions work at scale. Our collaborative structure ensures that decisions are made with the residents rebuilding their lives and landscapes.

Native sunflowers are wonderful.
They just aren’t bioremediation.

There’s been a lot of confusion about planting after fires. We wrote a short explainer on why native sunflowers, while valuable, are not bioremediation and what real soil cleanup actually involves.
