What It Can Address

• Petroleum products and oils

• Certain heavy metals

• Agricultural chemicals

• PFA’s

• Other organic pollutants

Why It’s Powerful for the Rust Belt

• Low-cost compared to traditional remediation

• Can reclaim blighted or “unusable” land

• Works with nature instead of against it

• Can be combined with plants (bioremediation) for even better results

• Creates opportunities for local training and jobs

How We Apply It

We use mycoremediation on blighted sites, in water filtration systems, and as part of larger Eco-Oasis projects. It is especially effective when paired with hügelkultur, living riprap, and strategic planting.

This is one of the most exciting tools for turning contaminated or abandoned land back into healthy, productive community space.
