Intro to Mycoremediation

Join NOFA MASS online for the first of two evening events where we will learn from experts about bioremediation and how we are using plants and soil biology to ameliorate contaminated soil. During this live interactive event we will learn from Willie Crosby about how mycoremediation is an important tool for bioremediation of urban soils.
If bioremediation using microbiology and plant partners is effective, such an approach can be beneficial by:

• reducing costs by eliminating the need for expensive barriers and truckloads of loam
• provide a deeper, more functional soil
• Improving soil in the long run for growing crops, while breaking down toxic hydrocarbons and removing heavy metals to non-food-producing areas

Agenda:
7:00pm – Welcome and Introductions
7:10pm – Mycoremediation presentation from Willie Crosby
8:00pm – Questions and Discussion
8:30pm – Wrap Up & Thank You
