Remediation
Microbial Strategies for Contamination
We help restore land impacted by contamination, degradation, and intensive use by rebuilding the biology that drives soil function. Using microbes, fungi, and phytoremediation, we support the breakdown and stabilization of pollutants while improving overall soil health. Each site is approached as a living system, with custom strategies developed through microscopy, field observation, and regenerative practices to guide long-term recovery.
Remediation Project Packages
We design and support nature-based remediation and recovery strategies for land impacted by PFAS, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, nutrient runoff, and physical disturbance such as excavation or compaction, with an emphasis on restoring biological function rather than forcing chemical correction.Each project is approached as a biological reconstruction process, not a one-time treatment. The goal is to re-establish a resilient soil food web capable of cycling nutrients, buffering contaminants, and improving ecosystem stability over time. Every remediation effort begins with site context and baseline assessment, which may include land-use history, disturbance patterns, hydrology, and available soil or contaminant data. Where appropriate, soil and compost microscopyis used to directly observe existing microbial communities—bacteria, fungi, protozoa, aggregate structure, and overall food web balance — before any interventions are applied.
Typical project scope may include:
Site Assessment & History Review
Establishing a biological reference point to identify missing functional groups, fungal:bacterial balance, predator activity, and indicators of soil stress or dormancy.
Baseline Soil and Compost microscopy
Evaluation of soil condition, compaction, disturbance patterns, vegetation history, and contaminant context to understand both chemical and biological constraints.
Custom Microbial & Fungal Strategy
Design of site-specific inoculation plans using Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO), fungal integrations, compost tea extracts, and aerobic or anaerobic brews selected to rebuild targeted portions of the soil food web.
Compost Tea/Extracts & Biological Delivery Systems
Use of compost teas and extracts to rapidly multiply beneficial organisms already adapted to the site and deliver them efficiently to soil and plant surfaces during key recovery windows.
Fungal & Plant Remediation Planning
Strategic use of deep-rooted plants, mycorrhizal fungi, and biomass cycling to support contaminant uptake, immobilization, or transformation while feeding soil biology.
Biochar Design Filtration Concepts
Integration of inoculated biochar as microbial habitat, contaminant sorbent, and long-term carbon reservoir within soil or water treatment zones.
Pre & Post-Inoculation Monitoring
Follow-up field observation and microscopy to track microbial establishment, fungal expansion, and overall soil food web recovery after each major intervention.Projects are tailored for private land, farms, community spaces, demonstration sites, and collaborative municipal or institutional efforts. Implementation support can range from advisory guidance to hands-on field integration, with ongoing observation used to refine strategies as biological function improves.
