Not all non-native plants are detrimental. However, certain invasive species significantly increase wildfire risk. Ecological restoration is essential to reducing fire vulnerability, safeguarding biodiversity, and ensuring sustainable water management.
CHOOSE TO REUSE
Reusable Bags
Our Zero Waste Team’s Reusable Bags campaign encourages Palisadians to reject single use shopping bags, produce bags, and bread bags and replace these with reusable bags. Palisadians who sign our pledge not to use single-use bags are given a free Reusable Produce Bag at our event table, which pops up at every Pali Veg Fest and other Resilient Palisades events.
Resilient Palisades has purchased a large set of stainless steel reusable cutlery and cups. We make these available for use instead of plastic cutlery at our Pali Veg Fest events. They are available for free loan to members of our community hosting larger events.
Contact us to arrange a loan.
